“Winterberry Frost Cowl by Barbara Ammerman”
Description
Winterberry Frost Cowl is the newest pattern in the Classic Winter Collection, which can be found on our website, woollyside.com.

Worked flat, this cowl starts with a Channel Island cast on and ends with a picot bind off. Each buttonhole is created by a yarn over paired with a decrease and is worked into the pattern in one piece. This delightfully textured cowl features crocheted bobbles, columns of cables, and a large central lace and cable motif reminiscent of my favorite winter decorations: winterberries, popcorn garlands, and pinecones. All throughout, a garter stitch edging is maintained. This pattern is easily customized for length (just addsubtract repeats) or turned into a flat scarf (simply knit where the yarn overdecrease pairs show up for the buttonholes) or infinity scarf (sew the short ends together or place buttons between the END BAND bobbles instead of on the long side) even substitute your favorite cast onbind off edgings or insert beads instead of making bobbles! Have fun making this project a special winter memory.
