This project is an excellent stash-busting project, as it requires only a small amount of yarn per size.

This cowl is knitted in the round as a cylinder and features an elegant multicolored pattern incorporating structural elements.

To ensure the cowl is soft and comfortable for use during both transitional seasons and winter, the chosen yarn is Leonora from Permin, which consists of silk, wool, and mohair. This also lends the cowl an extra touch of elegance.
