Pattern link:

Lately I’ve been admiring patterns that incorporate colorwork and nature, including Hannah Fettig’s beautiful Swallow Cowl. None of the patterns seem to call for worsted weight yarn though, and I had some leftover Cascade 220 and a few scraps of black DK weight that I was determined to make into a project. Using one of the Free Swallow Charts shared so generously by Melanie Nordberg on Ravelry, I knit up this cowl so quickly that I decided to share it here (for free of course, since I didn’t come up with this chart).
