Skills include working into the back loop or front loop only, sc2tog, and changing colors. Notes from the Designer: Photoperiodism is the scientific term for the change in leaf color in the fall. This cowl nods to the changes in colors of the leaves and gives the opportunity for a meditative crochet experience. Worked primarily in linen stitch, this cowl’s simplicity belies its end beauty. The experience is just as rewarding as the end product. Available in three sizes, this pattern lets you choose what you’re in the mood for, and the cowl’s color scheme allows for many color variations. Your imagination is your only limit to personalization. * Click [here][7] to watch a tutorial on how to work this pattern. * Gauge is not crucial to the cowl, but will affect yardage totals. *Designed by Cari Jehlik* You'll receive a digital file only (instantly downloadable as a PDF) and won't be shipped anything.
