Pattern Description:

Named after the brook that zig-zags behind my home in Maine, Collins Brook Cowl is a versatile worsted-weight cowl pattern that is knit in the round and features an easy zig-zag lace stitch pattern.

This cowl can be created and worn in multiple ways:
* Long version can be worn simply draped around the neck or wrapped twice around your neck
* Short version can be worn around the neck or a button closure can be used for a closer fit
