Blueberry Scowl
Scarf + cowl = scowl. Designed by Liz Abinante · feministy.com
I really like infinity cowls, and I also love unnecessarily long scarves. Who says you can't have both? Knit flat, this scarf features optional buttons, allowing it to be wrapped up and worn as a cowl. This clever little project incorporates textured motifs to bring out the tonal colors in semi-solid yarns without obscuring them. Add some versatility to your wardrobe with the multi-purpose project! Version 3. Updated on November 28, 2013 Materials and Information Information The 1x1 ribbing and the 2x2 ribbing will want to block out at different widths. Block your scowl according to the 1 x1 ribbing: this will leave your 2x2 ribbed edge a little relaxed.
