Squamish Cowl
"This squishy cowl is made with Lion Brand Yarn’s Vanna’s Choice Yarn (so cozy!) in Silver Grey, Chocolate, and Dusty Blue. I chose to use three colors, but you can choose any color combination with the simple assembly of the squares. I used three skeins for the colors, but it only takes a couple hundred yards of yarn. It fits comfortably loose and is nice and long to cover your face on those extra chilly days. The fringe continues the color pattern and adds more detail the the bottom edge. This pattern uses three skeins of Vanna's Choice Lion Brand Yarn in Silver Grey, Chocolate, and Dusty Blue."
NotesAnd you are finished! Roll the top edge over the create a double layered warm cowl that stays under your chin, or pull it up to cover your nose on those super cold mornings.
