The First Snow Capelet Cowl celebrates that first magical snowfall of the year, the best time to cozy up and hibernate at home.  This wrap is stitched up in lovely wintry shades and feels like a fabulous blanket without actually wearing a full sized blanket.  A special single button holds it in place and this can easily be made in one evening!

I chose this project because it is cozy, warm and comforting with a wonderful textural feel. It’s also a great fashion accessory. 

I tend to run warm. So much so that I rarely wear my winter coat until temps dip well below freezing. This year, the cold weather has been slow in coming, and I wanted something a little lighter to wear. With a rectangular shape and easy, repeating pattern, this crochet ruana worked up remarkably quickly, and I’ll be wearing it for the rest of the season!
