The Goldenrod Cowl combines garter stitch geometry with a decorative slipped stitch pattern to make a beautifully fitting shaped cowl that can accommodate any size, at any gauge! You will want to make many versions from short to capelet length. The pattern also includes arm warmers, which are a perfect gauge swatch for the cowl!

Among other skills, we learn an excellent provisional cast on to have in your repertoire, the over-the-needle crochet cast on, which is perfect for this side-to-side construction. We discuss how short row shaping creates a particularly refined fit in this garment, and German short rows will be demonstrated.
