Cold Spring Cowl

The name of this pattern comes from Cold Spring, a small river town in Upstate New York. The Cold Spring Cowl combats the brisk cold while staying easy to tuck into a jacket or coat. The relatively blank canvas makes it ideal for experimenting with a pop of color in your wardrobe, or for finally using up that special skein in your stash that you love, but can't quite figure out. **< < < YARN > > >** This cowl is designed for either a lighter or heavier DK-weight yarn.
