This cosy cowl is the perfect size to snuggle round your neck inside your coat or jacket, keeping you warm on chilly days. The design features a smocked pattern, which is easier to do than it looks – all you need to be able to do is use a cable needle. It is worked in the round, so no seaming is needed. A quick project to knit – perfect for yourself or a winter gift.
