This snug fitting cowl evokes a rushing river enshrouded in mist, with striking variegated yarn reminiscent of swift water tumbling over rocks and a haze of mohair drifting above it. Structural slipped stitches and purls help to break up pooling in variegated yarns, while a touch of mohair softens them. Approximately 22 inches (56 cm) wide by 8 inches (20 cm) tall, you can make the cowl longer or shorter to your tastes or change the circumference by adding or subtracting multiples of 4 stitches.
