The Prisca cowl (some might call it a snood) comes in two versions. Both are great companions for the cold season of the year.

Version 1 is only knit in rounds. Version 2 is open at the bottom and starts with rows that form decorative corners in the middle of your front and back, which makes it even more attractive. The top of version 2 is knit in rounds as well.

This cowl does not hug the neck too closely, so you do not feel as if it is choking you. When it gets cold, you can draw it upwards and over your ears and warm your complete head with it.

The pattern contains charts as well as a written pattern for every single row or round.

This detailed pattern (5 pages) contains professional knitting charts as well as a written patterns of the charts for every single row.
