As we've been discussing layering knitwear is a huge hit for Autumn, place a drapey cowl over a knit tunic or dress, a coat or jacket or even a simple top, add some even longer necklaces or boots, and you have an entirely new look.
Versatility is the key reason to love the humble cowl, longer styles like Knotsewcute's Infinity or Schaefer's One Skein Snood can be looped around your neck until your heart's content, but if you desire a turtleneck effect opt for the more fitted styles of Tiny Owl Knits' textured Bedknobs & Broomsticks and Knitspot's lace Bittersweet Vines, Cite' or Hoarfrost.

Freshstitches is being featured on my blog this month and Stacey is giving away a December Pocket Cowl pattern and I've added 2 skeins of Malabrigo Merino Worsted to knit it in, enter at knittingwithsandrasingh.blogspot.com
Have fun, explore textures and shapes, learn to knit or crochet a new technique or two, cowls are usually small projects that work up fast and most importantly, enjoy. Visit Cowls & Neckwarmers to see all my designs.
And you may have noticed I've introduced the work of a new designer, Tiny Owl Knits! Over my next few newsletters I'll properly introduce you to Stephanie and her designs.
