This kerchief cowl is shaped to dip softly in front without adding bulk at the back. Worked in a combination of colors and stitch textures for visual interest, it livens up a jacket front, or can be worn with the point on the side to mix it up. With its close fit around the neck and soft drape over the top of the shoulders, Valley Yarns’ cotton and silk blend Hawley yarn is a cozy and comfortable choice. Perfect for the beginner learning new stitch textures and basic shaping techniques. Available as a kit here.
