The Lucky Cowl from Valley Yarns is a versatile cowl that can be worn doubled on cooler days or worn down for squishy comfort. This cowl is an easy introduction to colorwork and the simple 4-row repeat is quick to memorize and fun to make. Note: Stitch pattern creates an elastic fabric that can be widened and/or lengthened during the blocking process to show the color work and stitch detail.
