Diurnal Cowl (knit)
Squishy, slouchy and nearly mindless. Twisted stitches and simple ribbing result in a sleek wavy pattern. DK weight yarn makes this cowl a soft, cozy, lovely and a quick project. Choose from two flattering sizes: narrow to hug your neck or wide to wear loose are looped double for warmth.
Cowl is worked bottom-up in the round.
