The Autumn Love Cowl will be your new favorite cool weather accessory. This FREE crochet pattern features at least 2 colors of bulky weight yarn.
I used two colors, but the results would be amazing with each section a separate color. The Autumn Love Cowl would be a great project to use up any of your partially used skeins from previous projects.
