Tales of the Tundra Cowl (Crochet)

***All 12 clue files will stay included with the purchase of this pattern until January 31, after which time only the final pattern will be available.*** Whether you prefer passing the winter months on a beach in the tropics or can’t imagine life without the snow (that second one’s me), there will always be something alluring about the mountains, northern lights, and amazing wildlife found in the tundra. This cowl takes inspiration from both the Scandinavian and North American tundras, with corrugated ribbing, geometric border details, and a fiercely fluffy colorwork chart that will keep you warm in even the harshest conditions.
