FO: Three Wishes Cowl

Last year, I have a surprise cowl MKAL called Three Wishes. The clue release everyday for a week. Since cowl is not a big item. I think knitter will have no problem to knit a clue a day. Plus, by the end of a week they will have additional Christmas gift. So, here is the mystery cowl looks like.

You can wear it like this:




I purposely designed the top part of the cowl with reversible stitch, so you can fold the top part of the cowl and still looks nice.


The beads are on the edging only, since I don't want the cold glass bead touching my neck
