Second Nature Cowl Pattern available

I have a new cowl pattern available. It's called the Second Nature Cowl.
A bulky, warm, woollen Basketweave cowl, this is a very quick and easy cowl to make.  It's worked in the timeless favourite, basketweave stitch, in 100% wool.
The yarn I've used is Cleckheaton Country Wide which is a bulky, machine washable wool.  Their red is just the tone I love, but maybe you could go with something more subtle.  It really is Second Nature.
