Ansh Cowl is a versatile accessory that can live in your wardrobe and can easily be thrown over any outfit for an instant update. Knitted with a rich variegated yarn, it can add a brilliant color pop and round out even the most basic looks.

I knew I wanted the cowl to fall graciously around the neck with a pointy tip. I came up with a construction for the shape. And kept the stitches really basic. It turned out to be a reasonably quick and very engaging project. :)
