This pair of cowls was inspired by my mother. When she visited over the holidays she commented on how pretty the beaded yarn was and I could not pass up the opportunity to make her some easy cowls.

I thought that other knitters might appreciate what an easy and yet pretty cowl pattern this is, so I wrote up a quick pattern!
