Pattern: Greta Cowl

Designed for LYS Day 2025.

The Greta cowl has a structured, gridded texture juxtaposing the playful scalloped edging, which can be made in the same yarn for a smooth transition or in a contrasting mini skein to accentuate the border. Easily memorized, this is a perfectly portable project, ready to be picked up on the go. The simple texture works great with a solid or semi-solid, or showcases that precious single skein of hand-dyed variegated yarn, letting the colours shine.
