A bohemian cowl that looks like a shawl, but is much easier to wear and style! You know this is just what you were looking for this summer ;)

This ‘shcowl’ (shawl + cowl) is so quick and satisfying to make! You can use the recommended yarn weight or heavier like fingering or sport for a warmer results. We had it tested in all kinds of yarn, and it looks great every time!
The fringe is optional, and to me it adds the perfect Boho touch. Make any simple outfit much more interesting adding the perfect accessory like this one.
