I finished the Owl Cowl that I
swatched in October, but still need to write up the pattern. I couldn't wait that long to share the pictures.
I wasn't sure if I should add buttons for the eyes. What do you think?
While browsing Ravelry I have seen some knitters add button to just one owl on the sweaters. I guess if I find some buttons that go perfectly with the yarn I'll add them to one of the owls. Then the cowl would have a defined front, but it may make it more obvious that it's an owl.
It's nice and cozy; knit in Malabrigo Worsted. It is a good yarn to keep the cowl from collapsing on itself. I did notice that it scrunches up in the center where the cables are. Then lays flat again along the border pattern. The better to keep you warm I guess.
This blue cowl is a gift that has already been wrapped and delivered, but is local in case I find buttons. I want to knit another for me in a funner color. I'm thinking Green Apple.

I like the one owl getting eyes idea. It's nice when a cowl fits closer in where the coat collar is and flares a little to cover under your chin. It was 12 degrees this morning but I did a cashmere turtleneck instead of cowl.
Oh, I'm sure that Malabrigo is sooo nice and toasty against the neck. Lovely color!
I like the one owl idea too. It's a great cowl. I do hope you write up the pattern. I'll knit one.
I think a fun color would be good...but man, that blue brings out your eyes.
