Cowl "Kjellrun", knitting pattern, easy to customize

What do we need when it's storming and snowing outside? A chic cowl that is cuddly warm, has an effective pattern and is uncomplicated to knit!.

Cowl KJELLRUN is knitted with needle size 4.5 - 5, which means this is a quick knit! I used a yarn made of soft alpaca, but you can also use virgin wool yarns or even 8-ply sock yarns. The Diamond Stitch Pattern is easy to knit if you have some practice in knitting and know the basic techniques. And the pattern is both, charted and written!
