Whether you’re looking for a quick, sweet gift or a practice run before working the Helen Pullover, this cowl is perfect for you! Knit from a luxurious bulky-weight blend of brushtail possum, New Zealand merino, and silk, this fun-to-knit cowl is worked from the bottom up and is gently tapered towards the top to keep out chilly breezes. Use color to make a cowl that is truly one-of-a-kind−whether you like a single, subtle color or eye-catching contrast trims, this pattern will result in a cozy cowl that will make you feel like a goddess!
