Campfire Cowl, Standard

To purchase on Ravelry, see Campfire Cowl - Single-Sided.

As summer turns to fall in the PNW, it brings to mind clear starry evenings, campfires, and s’mores. This design features asymmetrical motifs inspired by the dancing flames of the fires, on the background of the night sky. Bold patterns transition into smaller flames. Doubled thickness, stitched into a seamless cowl, provides extra warmth and coziness as the weather turns.
