This one is all about cozy – we combined cashmere yarn with an easy-to-knit slip stitch rib for the ultimate in cuddly accessories. It’s a hug for your neck – perfect for a day on the ice. And, since we’ve held the yarn doubled, you have options – choose your favorite color and go all in, or marl two colors together.
