Bunchgrass is designed with two colors in mind. It features a minimum cast on and cast off with strategic increases and decreases to make the form of the cowl. The Bunchgrass stitch texture in the second half of the cowl is a tribute of the native grasses that grow in all altitudes in Colorado.

Two sizes are offered for your preferred snuggle factor. The small size wears closer around the neck or for an appropriate child size. The large size sits away from the neck and gives plenty of garment to wear with a coat when the wind gets cold.
