Sometimes you just want to get warm and make a statement. With the Frost Giant Cowl, you can achieve both. The cowl is worked flat and has two finishing options, choose the one you feel most comfortable with. The finishing options consist of either plain seaming or a three-needle bind-off.

In the sample Frost Giant the yarn was held double. Gauge is not critical in this project and any bulky or extra bulky weight yarn can be used for a similar result. Using a thinner yarn will, of course, result in a less humongous Frost Giant.

Difficulty
The plain seaming finishing option in this pattern is suitable for the beginning knitter. The three-needle bind-off finishing option requires a provisional cast on. Because this is a more advanced knitting technique, this version is suitable for the intermediate knitter.
Stitches used include knit, purl and slipping stitches.
