This is a versatile cowl that scrunches up nicely and is an easy knit. It is great for all weights of yarn – just match the yarn weight to the peg gauge for the fabric you want. This cowl looks great with self-striping and gradient yarns. You can knit it short with just a few repeats or you can knit it extra-long and it can be pulled up over your head like a hooded cowl.
