I adore his smile
I cherish his hugs
I admire his heart
but most of all
I love that he is my son! ❤️

INFO
This cowl design is really special to me. When my lovely son Jess, asked me for a snug and warm cowl I couldn’t resist to create something new for him. He chose the swatch of this cable pattern.

Pure Jess is a unisex cowl and can easily be knitted in other fibers or gauges for an equally impressive result. The design is as well suited to tonally dyed fibers as it is to solid hues. This is a fun and addictive knit and even the ‘wrong’ side has a fun pattern.
