Winterberry Frost Cowl – Hard Copy Pattern

Worked flat, this cowl starts with a Channel Island cast on and ends with a picot bind off. Each buttonhole is created by a yarn over paired with a decrease and is worked into the pattern in one piece. This delightfully textured cowl features crocheted bobbles, columns of cables, and a large central lace and cable motif reminiscent of my favorite winter decorations: winterberries, popcorn garlands, and pinecones. All throughout, a garter stitch edging is maintained. This pattern is easily customized for length (just add/subtract repeats) or turned into a flat scarf (simply knit where the yarn over/decrease pairs show up for the buttonholes) or infinity scarf (sew the short ends together or place buttons between the END BAND bobbles instead of on the long side) – even substitute your favorite cast on/bind off edgings or insert beads instead of making bobbles! Have fun making this project a special winter memory.
