The Cowl
There is nothing more satisfying than an easy-to-knit, beautiful-to-wear, luxuriously soft accessory. Held triple-stranded with one worsted weight and two fingering weight yarns, the possibilities are truly endless. Subtle shaping is achieved using three different needle sizes and we knit till we ran out of yarn!
