“Go and embrace your liberty. And see what wonderful things come of it.” (Marmee March, Little Women)
Marmee (Mrs March) was the solid foundation of her family and so this cowl uses a single repeat of the pattern that all the other shawls in this collection derive from.
This cowl is worked flat and a small seam is made after blocking that converts an unusual shape into a wonderfully warm hooded cowl.
There is a link to a video tutorial for the Italian 2-colour Brioche cast-on included in the pattern.
Many thanks to Nancy Marchant for her work on brioche stitches and terminology, which is used here and to Deb Bramham for her brilliant tech editing.
