Bosmiga is Old English for “sinuous”, which describes the undulating motif on this two-colour stranded knitting cowl. Choose a solid main colour and a hand-dyed or variegated contrast colour or try it with two complementary solid colours to make the motif pop a bit more! Regardless of what colours you use, take your time to wend your way through this fun bulky yarn cowl pattern. Enjoy!
