A pattern of slipped stitches makes simple cables pop against a colorful background in the Kimber Cowl, creating a fun knitting process and a vibrant result! Part of Marianated Yarns’ 2019 Christmas and Hanukkah kits, the cowl is worked flat from end to end and then joined with sewn-on buttons. The superwash merino yarn base (shown in a brand new colorway, Superfan) is perfect for cozy, close-to-the-neck wear.
