Knit partially flat, this cowl will require you to switch the way you knit each stitch pattern when you switch to knitting in the round. If you want to omit the zipper, you can simply knit the entire cowl in the round. The yarn is super-soft without intense stitch definition. So the overall look is flowing with movement and luxury.
