I think it's a beautiful pattern but the first thing I think of is the white representing snow so Snow Trails is my suggestion.

It's simple, classic & classy, yet just a hint of unusual- It's got to be " New Classic Houndstooth"!!

"And the Winner Is" Cowl......... It looks to me like a checkered flag at the final lap of a car race.

Zippity Zebra Cowl is what I would call it, because of my granddaughter's love of zebras.

"WINNER TAKES ALL!" Cowl....reminds me of a finish line, and in this cowl, one would definitely be a winner! Love it!

King Cowl...the "checkered" pattern puts me in mind of a checker/chess board. :P

A really great, classic pattern, that is sure stirring a foreign flavor here. I suggest Guazetto, for a famous Zanni whom was famous for the tiered collars.

The pattern of this cowl immediately reminded me of the French "Arlequin Pierrot" or as Americans say Harlequin clowns. The French Arlequin Pierrot were pantomine artists that wore white face and black and white costume usually in a diamond pattern. So I would name this the Arlequin Pierrot Cowl

Making the cowl in black and white the name, Ebony and Ivory reminds me of a piano keyboard.

When I first looked at it, it reminded me of a soccer ball, so I would call it "Soccer Mom's Cowl".

Let's Go to The Races Cowl - because it looks like a checkered flag used at the finish line.

Jester's Hug - I like Jester's Love because it appears to be a harlequin pattern which was always worn by Jesters and it is hugging the model's neck.

Being as the yarn is called "colorama" ... I would call this Absence and Abundance Cowl.
