Atlantic cowl

Here we go, we all know that the weather can change rapidly in the Atlantic provinces.  Wind, rain, snow and sun are all possibilities for any one day in three of the four seasons. Here is the remedy. A cowl that serves many purposes from accessory to necessity. Here are some of the ways it can be called upon to create Atlantic comfort:

Regular. The cowl is just worn around the neck. 

Folded over and tied with the coordinating tie

As a neck ruffle worn to the front or

The side. 

Folded in half and the ends tied, this version makes an ultra warm double thickness neck warmer.  A minor modification by pulling up the inner layer:

And you can go out in a blizzard. 

Cold ears?  Not anymore. 

Need a bit more coverage?  Pull down the inner layer a bit to create a brim. 

Separate the two layers up and down, for more warmth. 

Finally, a fold over in the front only, creates warmth with less bulk. 

Taa daa. This does not replace the need to have appropriate outerwear for Canadian winters. But there are times when you are expecting nice weather, and you get snow. If this was your accessory, you are immediately prepared!

Happy fall, winter and spring!
