Abbon Cowl

Abbon Cowl

by Schibot Garne - knitting pattern for a cowl, in German and English.

ABOUT THIS PATTERN

This lovely cowl combines simple lace and colour melt sections. It is named after the two colourways I used, Ablaze and Bonfire. These two colours simply look great together!

Get creative! Choose two colourways with similar nuances. Snag two different awesome speckled skeins and start striping the colours together!
