My children love Lego. I always like a simple toy like Lego so much better than the noisy electric toys with many buttons. Lego brings out your creativity.

This cowl is designed to encourage you to be creative like building with Lego blocks. Play with the colors and the size of the blocks. You build your own cowl with the blocks created by your needles.

Achieving the perfect size for a single round cowl is always difficult as I like it snuggly around my neck. Waffle texture and elastic edges will provide flexibility when worn. A snuggly Lego Cowl will block the wind for you.
