Happy Cowloween! It’s time for ghosts and pumpkins. It’s time for candy and dressing up! It’s time to bust out your orange yarn and your broom! It’s Halloween!!! In case you didn’t know, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this time of year. In October, I want to dress up for Halloween every single day. Since that isn’t exactly practical to break out a costume each morning, I’ve designed a Halloween cowl. This little accessory gives me (and you and the kiddos) a chance to get in the Halloween spirit as often as your Halloween heart desires.
Worked SEAMLESSLY from the top down, Cowloween knits up quickly (like any good cowl should), but wears like a hassle-free shawl. Unlike traditional tube cowls that rumple into a pile of knitting around your neck, this shawl-shaped construction lets your knitting shine by creating a triangular front and shortened back. The shape is wonderful, wearable, and just plain fun to knit.
This Cowl Includes:
Top-Down, Seamless Construction
Shawl-Shaped Wearability
Simple, Fun Colorwork
Charts & Written Instructions
Endless Stash-Busting Opportunities
