Is there anything better than a hug from a fluff? If you’ve been following us on social media
for a while you’ve probably seen photos of Oliver (one of our lilac Burmese cats) with his face
buried in my neck and a little arm outstretched across my chest. He’s been a hugger from the
day we brought him home and has a deep need to give hugs to pretty much everyone.
The moment I tried this cowl on it reminded me of one of Oliver’s Hugs and I knew that’s what
it needed to be called.
Knit and gift this cowl with love and generosity of spirit to anyone in need of a hug, especially
if it’s yourself.

Oliver’s Hugs is a lace cowl with optional beads. As written it makes a cowl long enough to wrap around your neck twice without being tight.

I used Harnie Hoolie’s Designs Alsilca 4ply for the orange version and Harnie Hoolie’s Designs Simere for the purple but any 4ply/fingering yarn with 400m per skein will work beautifully.
