Slanting Shells Cowl – Make this pretty cowl as a treat to yourself to ward off the last few weeks of Winter. It is a great replacement for a scarf, made in a worsted weight yarn with a leaning shell design, wear it loose around your neck for style or folded over for warmth.

I can not download the pattern because I'm not downloading the DOC to PDF. I downloaded that before and got a virus and it screwed up my mail page and tabs I used to surf the internet. If there is no other way to download the patterns than I'll have to delete your page, which would be sad. There's a lot of things I'm really interested in on your site. Please answer my e-mail a.s.a.p. Thank you, Michele Bittner
