A smart cowl for casual or dress. It’s heavy/warm and very easy to knit. I loved working on this in the car during rush hour. It went so quickly.

This is a simple knit shawl. Starting at the neck and working down towards the back. It consists of two identical triangles separated by a center stitch. It is easily made bigger by adding extra pattern repeats.
