The Cottage Cowl is your new best friend! If you need folds of comforting, thick fabric that keeps the winter wind at bay while also holding it’s shape and looking perfectly timeless across many outfits, I’ve got you covered! Cozy half fisherman’s rib spins tales of the rugged outdoors while adding an insulating thicker layer to protect you from the elements, and simple cables keep the piece classic and low key!

This cowl is a special collaboration with Sew Liberated to announce the arrival of the absolutely perfect Sylvan Jacket! Is there anything better than a chore coat to get you through all the seasons?

When I heard Meg was plotting a grandpa cardi-
barn jacket mashup and wanted a knitted accessory to pair with it, I was inspired immediately. Canvas, classic fit, scholarly curved collar, and 12 different pocket options to boot! (and yes, it would pair nicely with boots). It is the very best marriage of function and form with many opportunities for customization. Paired with the Cottage cowl, it’s an instant-outfit that can work with everything from your favorite bookstore perusing skirt to your go-to jeans.

This quick little popcorn knit is a fun piece to work on in conjunction with sewing your Sylvan Jacket. It’s satisfying, squishy, and easy to memorize. I have had so much fun pairing my handknit cowl with a handmade piece, and it has me looking at my closet in all new ways!

Both the Sylvan Jacket and the Cottage Cowl marry function with form, so you can wear them anywhere!

Cowl is worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up.

Please note that if you prefer a slightly shorter cowl, you can achieve the cowl in 250 yards by working one repeat less.
