Need a cowl kit? You can get your LOLODIDIT KIT HERE
The I HEART SHEEP cowl is a celebration of those dear little sheepies that provide us with yarn. Wooly and wonderful, I think most knitters would agree that sheep deserve a shout out. I HEART SHEEP!
Worked SEAMLESSLY from the top down, this cowl knits up quickly (like any good cowl should), but wears like a hassle-free shawl. Unlike traditional tube cowls that rumple into a pile of knitting around your neck, this shawl-shaped construction lets your knitting shine by creating a triangular front and shortened back. The shape is wonderful, wearable, and just plain fun to knit. This cowl is available in child and adult sizing!
This Cowl Includes:
- Top-Down, Seamless Construction
- Shawl-Shaped Wearability
- Simple, Fun Colorwork
- Charts & Written Instructions
- Endless Stash-Busting Opportunities
