Friday Free Patterns - Cowls for January

     With just a handful of days left of December, I look ahead to January.  Usually the coldest month of the year whether I've lived in Upstate New York or Colorado. Here we won't have as much snow (it'll hit in the Spring) and temperatures won't quite be as cold as back Northeast.  But still cold enough.  So I'm thinking cowls right now are a great accessory.  Wrapped around to keep the warmth in.  Here's a nice selection.  Some take hours, a day or two, others are a longer project, but worth the effort.

Very Gifted Cowl - Free Pattern

Here's a beautiful cowl I've been eyeing.  Simple and can be tailored to your yarn.  Directions for many sizes of yarn.  Beauty in simplicity.

Big Herringbone Cowl - Free Pattern

One of my favorites, I've made several.  It takes two days up on #50 needles and uses two strands of Wool-Ease Thick & Quick.  Fun and warm.  Makes a great quick gift too!
