Elwin

$8.50

Merlin is my wonderfully delightful boxer, whoโ€™s usually a bundle of energy that needs to be burned. Sometimes this doesnโ€™t always mix with the dreadful winters we get here in Edmonton, making walking Merlin a chilling experience. Cold breezes blowing down my neck collar is uncomfortable and leads to much shorter walks.

Elwin is a cosy DK weight cowl that has helped remedy those gusts of wind from making its way down my collar, protecting me from the cold and allowing me to get my walks in with Merlin (which is something we both need!).

Worked both flat and in the round, Elwin consists of both written directions and charts. The pattern includes detailed instructions for the techniques used. Notes are included if youโ€™d prefer a cowl with a bigger circumference, or a longer one โ€“ which makes this pattern incredibly easy to swap out different yarn weights/gauges for.
