Loretto Road Cowl
The Loretto Road Cowl, named after the road where my grandparents lived, is a small neck warmer which can to be worn inside the neck of a coat or just to add a little touch of colour and knitting to an outfit. Designed to use just one ball of yarn, this cowl is the perfect small knit…whether that’s for gifting or for yourself.
