Next-to-the-skin softness and a reversible texture pattern make this cozy cowl fun to wear, whether you like it close-fitting and tall, or a looser style. The stitch pattern reminded me of the beautiful Blue Mounds of Wisconsin, an ancient mountain chain worn to rounded hills and a wide valley, which still houses the Wisconsin River. Available as an individual pattern or as part of the Knitting Recipes: Hats and Cowls e-book, by Jaala Spiro.
