Join in the advent calendar fun with this third Missoni-inspired cowl, named for Rosita Missoni. Co-founder of the fashion house Missoni and wife of Ottavio Missoni, Rosita passed away early in 2025. This cowl is an homage to her creative vision and playful use of colour.

This pattern is also a great way to use up small amounts of leftover yarn.

Pattern is 5 pages.
