Chunky cowls stand up well against a cold wind. This one has
a striking pinwheel design that is worked with just knits,
purls, and simple twisted stitches. Choose a yarn like the one
shown here with excellent stitch definition and a vibrant
color.

Worked in one piece from the bottom up on a large circular

needle, this is a quick, seamless knit that makes for an
awesome weekend project! A great gift for the males and
females on your list too.

Looks fabulous folded in like a turtleneck or just scrunched

down.
