The Lento cowl is a MKAL running throughout Lent 2022. Sign ups are open until March 1st 2022. From March 2nd until April 16th, 5 rows a day will be revealed. Accept for Sundays. If you can keep up, your cowl will be ready Easter 2022.
It’s a free Mkal, to sign up, I need your email address in a dm. I won’t share or sell your information, I will only be used to sent the pattern.
After Lent, the pattern will go up for sale.

A color work cowl designed with the beginning Colorwork knitter in mind. But the more experienced Colorwork knitter will find this pattern engaging and fun too.

Size is adjustable by changing yarn and needles.
