AAP-WHIMWOOD
By Caroline Sommerfeld
Whimsical Woodland Cowl Kit
The cowl includes adorable squirrels and cute woodland mushrooms and is designed to be modular. The pattern includes three size options, but you can also customize it to include more or less squirrels and mushrooms according to your taste. Switch up the charts, add some in, or take some out to create your own woodland scene! It was a ton of fun to create and it’s just as much fun to knit thanks to the variety of shapes and sizes. This cowl can be worn around the neck or pulled up to form a hood. No matter what you choose this cowl will be warm, snuggly, and fun to wear!
