Moonlight Cowl

$10.00

PDF KNITTING PATTERN. PRICES ARE IN USD.

Soft blue light from a full moon throws shadows on leaves and branches on an autumn night. The Moonlight Cowl is a cozy accessory celebrating the monochrome blue of evening. It’s started like a triangle shawl, then joined for working in the round to create a cowl that drapes effortlessly for warmth and style.

This design was the November 2024 installment of the Indie Untangled Where We Knit Club.
