About:
The Liscarney Cowl is named for the townland of the same name in County County Mayo, Ireland. This rural area is filled with large areas of land, and has stone walls and roads that bisecting it here and there. I had this in mind when naming this design.

This quick stash-busting project is designed as a palette cleanser when you need something easy and engaging in your hands, this cowl will give you a fun, easy and wearable project to relax into. Filled with just knits and purls, it’s suitable for a confident beginner but engaging enough for a more advanced one. It’s a quick project, perfect for stash diving or even advent calendar minis, and it’s available in one size.

Whether you knit one for yourself or make several to gift, it’s a fun, easy project to keep your hand occupied at a time of year that keeps your brain so busy.
