The Creativity Cowl is bandana-style cowl designed to celebrate and embrace one’s creativity. Learning to spin has fueled my creativity in many ways and I have been on a mission to create a wearable design that embraces that creative energy in knitted form.

The Creativity Cowl is written at a DK weight gauge with clear instructions to work at your own gauge with any yarn weight and needle size. Keep in mind that the required yardage/meterage may differ based on your gauge and chosen yarn weight. Select a handspun, color-changing, or variegated yarn to pair with a solid or tonal yarn to create a Creativity Cowl of your own.
