CHICKADEE COWL

By Kirsten Kapur for

Through the Loops!

On the coldest days of winter cowls provide warmth and protection from
bitter winds. As the weather starts to warm in the spring, cowls add a touch
of color, style and comfort.

The perfect project for stash busting, the Chickadee Cowl uses one skein of
bulky weight yarn. The linen stitch pattern is ideal for variegated yarns, as it
breaks up pooling and adds textural interest.

Worked at a bulky gauge, this project will be finished quickly. Be sure to

have two or three cowls on hand. You’ll want to wear one every day.
