You know when you pull a string on your fabric and it scrunches up? this is exactly what the texture of this new cowl pattern reminds me of.

This is the perfect pattern for a sock set yarn that you don’t really want to turn into socks. The cowl uses a full skein + a mini of fingering yarn weight set and it is a fun, easy to memorize pattern that will keep you entertained. To add a bit more of texture and the perfect amount of squishiness I added a small brioche section mid cowl.
