ABOUT THE PATTERN:

A quick, snug cowl knit in the round featuring two colors and three different brioche stitches. A fun and engaging knit, this is also a great stash buster! Add an optional suri alpaca liner for extra warmth and fluff.

A photo and video tutorial are included to demonstrate the technique for seaming down the liner.
