There’s a beauty to simplicity, but even the best things can be improved upon! If you love the look of a simple ribbed cowl but have struggled with sagging necklines in the past, you’ll love Lumini. Tapered from bottom to top, this cowl might have an odd shape when laid flat, but around your neck, it’s blissfully cozy, closing the drafty, droopy gap that so many other cowls leave behind.

Material Qualities
Choose something that feels comfortable for you to wear close to or against your skin. Almost any dk weight yarn will work, but the cowl will look best in yarns with a bit of heft. Heavier spun dk yarns with a lofty wool content and not too much drape are our preference for this piece.

You can double strand two sport-weight yarns for the correct gauge, or use a worsted weight yarn and more yardage.

• 256 yards of dk weight
• Approximately 300 yards of worsted weight
• Approximately 420 yards of sport weight, held double stranded

We’ve suggested some yarns we used in our samples above, but would love to see what treasures your stash may hold!

Finished Measurements
19.5” (49.5 cm) deep
15” (38 cm) circumference at the neck opening.
30” (76 cm) circumference at the base opening.
