Pacific Haiku Cowl

This is the twelfth pattern in the Souvenir Skeins Collection! I created this pattern while we were staying on the coast of Oregon in the early spring. It was incredibly windy the whole time we were there, with cold wind blowing in off the Pacific Ocean. I wanted to create something to keep that wind off my neck while walking on the beach.
