This light and snuggly children’s cowl is springy in texture and in style! It’s soft enough for even the most sensitive necks and the fit is comfortably stretchy. With its surprisingly simple stitch pattern and in-the-round construction, it’s also a joy to knit. Worked with two strands held together, it’s easy to jazz up the cowl with fun color combinations and stripes to make it your own. The soft and springy nature of the stitch pattern is amplified by the Berroco Comfort DK yarn, but other light DK weight yarns work well too.
