Snow Day Dreams Cowl Mosaic Knitting Pattern

Do you swoon over gorgeous mosaic knitting … all while dreaming of creating your own projects? Conquer your fears, and start Mosaic Knitting with confidence!

The Snow Day Dreams Cowl was designed as an easy-going introduction to Mosaic Knitting for adventurous beginner knitters while holding the attention of those who are more advanced.

The name of this cowl was inspired by my memories of childhood daydreams of a Snow Day … when school was closed for snow and we could build snowmen, have snowball fights, ride sleds, or just relax and snuggle up with a cozy blanket and some delicious hot cocoa. My children engage in their own rituals when snow is in the forecast: wearing their pajamas inside out, sleeping with a spoon under their pillow, and putting ice cubes in the toilet!
