Kana the Wanderer's Cowl (Free Crochet Pattern)


Good day, fellow crafters!

Are you looking for a lovely accessory for the autumn and winter seasons?  If so, try out Kana the Wanderer's Cowl!  This original design of mine is perfect for exploring and enjoying the changing seasons outdoors! 

This cowl is soft and has a wonderful drape. It isn’t too heavy nor light, and it isn’t too tight nor loose.  It takes up two regular skeins of worsted-weight yarn.  (I recommend Lionbrand's Heartland yarn for its beautiful colors!)

Without further ado, I present to you: Kana the Wanderer's Cowl!
