Adventurer Cowl Pattern by Ambah O'Brien

Grab some mini skeins of yarn and whip up this fun project, a fun addition to your cool weather wardrobe or a perfect gift for someone special. Designed to use minis from Advent kits or those gorgeous yarn sets gathered over the year, the Adventurer Cowl is also perfect to use up those teeny balls left over from your favorite projects. Fade it, work your colors in a more random order or choose a main color with some color pops thrown in along the way! Choose between a long or short loop and enjoy a knitting adventure!
