Christmastide cowl pattern

Don't know what to do with all those mini-skeins from your holiday yarn calendar? May I suggest the Christmastide cowl? It's a gently shaped cowl knit in the round designed. The shaping makes the cowl stylishly drape just so, without any fussing. It uses six mini-skeins with pattern sections divided into 12 rounds for each day of Christmastide (the most festive days of the old Elizabethan calendar: December 25 to January 6).
