cOWL mystery kal
Join us for 2025’s MKAL: Into The Hoods!!!!
First clue Oct 22nd!
cOWL mkal was October 2023’s mystery KAL, and what a HOOT it was! Knitters flew in without knowing what they were creating, and with just 500 yards of yarn ended up with a fabulous modular cowl. The pattern is divided into clues, each paired with a video tutorial to guide you through the process. It’s a fun and functional knit you’ll love making!
All five cOWL mkal videos are here:

The cowl you’ll be knitting is the latest in HOOT Couture!
We have a strict no-knitters-left-behind policy in our Ravelry and Facebook groups - if you need any help at all, we will flock together and come to your rescue!
