We have 7 months of winter here on the north shore of Minnesota, and neckwear that keeps you cozy is a must- sometimes well into June. For years, I have a made a hat using this pattern, and I finally wrote up the pattern this spring dubbing it the ‘Dreamstate’ because it’s a lovely pattern to knit and daydream to. I had to make a matching squishy cowl as well.

The pattern calls for Super Bulky yarn and is written in one size but instructions for easily adapting it are included. Shown in Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick. I have included two versions, both a brimless and brimmed version, depending on your preference. Instructions for knitting the pattern in the 3-color option are provided in the notes.

Cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up.
