Wheat Ears Cowl

Hi everyone! It seems that winter this is going to be very cold this year, so we’re all in need of something to keep our heads and necks warm and cozy. This cowl is so cute and very easy to make, I even made a tutorial video that you can follow to knit this pattern. It is a four-round pattern with few repetitions, and that is all you'll need to knit it. I wish you all to be healthy, and happy knitting!
