I happen to live in a very drafty house; a nice house, just quite chilly. I’ve noticed that keeping my neck warm makes my drafty house feel not so chilly. So, I came up with The Vanilla, a quick, simple cowl; worked in a neutral color, that can be worn with anything. It is long enough to wrap around three times for extra chilly days and still looks great wrapped twice for not so chilly days. It’s perfect with a V-neck top and even with pajamas on really windy evenings. The Vanilla is so quick and versatile that I made one in a cream colored llama/silk blend and another in a gray/white cotton. Everyone should have at least one Vanilla cowl.

“The Vanilla” is an April pattern in the book 2020 Cowl Collection. It can be purchased as an individual pattern or as the ebook.
