Snowflake Cowl
I’v been having so much fun blogging I’ve decided to make my crochet snowflake cowl pattern free for all my lovely followers!
The Design
This pattern uses the super cozy Bernat Velvet yarn because I just can’t get enough of the cozy. I got the idea for this design in the desert (of all places haha) I was thinking about things I love snow & winter being 2 of them, I wanted to include something I love into a design. Although Southern California doesn’t get very much snow I still love being able to take an hour drive to the mountains to play in the snow!

Seaming:
Fold in half and seam ends together with a whip stitch or your preferred seaming method. I recommend using the lighter color of your two yarn choices, its hides better when seaming.
