Five Sizes and Optional Unique Inner Cowl

The Wynter Chill is the perfect cold weather garment that can be used as a solo outerwear or as a layering garment. The generous size hood can accommodate a beanie, not included, for additional warmth. The buttoned roomy cape lays smoothly over the shoulders, chest and back.

The unique feature of The Wynter Chill is the optional inside cowl that is very easily knitted into the garment. Providing additional warmth, the inner cowl is buttoned on the side which allows a smooth seamless appearance. The exclusive inner cowl can be pulled up high over your face for those extra blustery days or it can be worn low around your neck.

The Wynter Chill is knitted with a heavy Aran or Bulky weight yarn which makes it extra warm and cozy. Basic stitches are used throughout and there are illustrations showing how this garment is easily connected and knit all in one piece.

Additional features of pattern:
Five sizes – Small, Medium, Large, XLarge, XXLarge
Instructions for making the cape longer are included.
Precise instructions for the way to knit a very easy one-row buttonhole. Once you learn this technique, you will use it often.
