The Aspen Cowl

-This post may contain affiliate links-

Earlier this week I shared a new hat pattern, The Aspen Hat, and today I am sharing the matching cowl pattern. I am excited to be sharing this pattern as part of ELK Studio's Make it for Me event. Check it out to find lots of fun projects for you.

Just like the matching hat, this cowl is made out of super bulky weight yarn, Lion Brand's Hometown USA. Since it is made with thick yarn it works up really fast.

This makes it a really great project to make when you want something you can finish really quick. The stitch used is the sedge stitch, which is one of my favorite stitches. I love the texture it gives to the hat and cowl.

And when it is worked in the super bulky yarn it turns out so soft and squishy. Perfect for cold January days.
