The Global Nomad Cowl is a great little accessory for wearing everywhere from music festivals to the weekend farmers’ market. It’s a light and airy cowl for those slightly cooler trans-seasonal days.
You can create some eye catching colour-block combinations to jazz up any outfit. The small size is perfect for using up small amounts of sock yarn and the large size isn’t too bad at that either.
The cowl is knit in the round and uses one very simple lace stitch to create a stylish accessory that is simple to knit.
I chat about my inspiration for this design and some tips on the Curious Handmade Podcast Episode 25.
