Harha cowl has a pretty hourglass shape which gets narrower in the middle and wider on both sides. This clever construction creates a cowl which will cover your neck tightly, keeping you warm in the winter breezes. The cowl is slightly assymetrical so you can use it either way.

The cowl is knitted in one piece starting with picot edging which is followed by cables. The cables are narrowed by decreases and then widened again by increases. This will keep the knitting interesting and make you finish in no time.

The combination of silk mohair and thin alpaca gives this cowl a luxurious feel. Use your imagination to combine the colours! There are two sizes, one for adults and the other one for children. You could knit a bunch of cowls with matching colours for your family, friends, neighbours or who you like.
