In a Mood Cowl

In a Mood Cowl is a create-your-own adventure style design. Within the pattern I’ve provided the instructions to work a cowl with four stitch motifs to choose from. You can work each motif as many or as few times as you’d like, and you can switch back and forth between motifs as often as you’d like; you just need to complete the motif repeat instructions.

Each time you pick up your project, you reflect on what kind of mood you’re in: do you need something mindless, something interesting, or something detailed? Allow your mood to guide you through the shawl. If you’re working with more than one color, allow your mood to choose when you need to change things up and use a different color.

The pattern includes recommended gauges for fingering, DK, and aran weight yarns; required yarn amounts for three cowl sizes in each yarn weight; and nine recommended designs (including the pattern instructions for my sample) if you’d like to follow a pattern instead of following your mood.
