~* Please read before purchasing!*~ This is a listing for a digital PDF file for a crochet pattern, NOT the finished item itself. Also, this pattern is available as a FREE version on my blog here: www.moralefiber.blog/free-patterns The Babushka Cowl combines super bulky weight yarn with a special stitch that gives a knit-like or ribbed surface texture to add visual appeal to this lovely and practical garment. The piece is worked in the round and can be modified according to the detailed, step by step instructions to create many different but equally practical styles - from a simple neck coverage cowl to a full poncho, hood or no hood, or anywhere in between. Babushka is an endearing term for grandmother, but also a fabric headscarf worn by said grandmothers. While the Babushka Cowl isn't a headscarf, it IS a warming mantle appropriate for layering with winter outerwear in the coldest of climates - I pictured this cowl being thrown on to go feed the chickens or gather kindling, or simply to keep the chilly cabin air off of your neck and shoulders.
