Pattern Descriptions
Effortlessly elevate your look with this perfect accent piece! The reversible Envy Cowl is knit in an undulating garter and rib basket weave pattern with slipped edge stitches to add a polished finish. Designed in a blend of three yarns: Berroco Ultra Alpaca, Berroco Aerial and Lana Gatto Paillettes that together create loft with cushiony softness. Ariel’s kid silk and mohair perfectly blends them together adding a blurry halo! You’ll love the ease of this grab-and-go knitting project worked on size 10 ½ needles. Ultra Alpaca’s extensive color range provides endless possibilities for color combining. Choose your favorite color to knit the Envy Cowl – express your unique style.
