Named for a hometown (though not my own), this cowl is roughly two-thirds stockinette, and one third lace. It can be worn pinned as a wrap over the shoulders, as a long cowl, or a twice-around cowl. The cashmere in the blend results in a delicious drape. 

Even if winters in Canada weren’t so cold, I would love cowls. Like a soft necklace, a cowl can function as a scarf, frame the face as a collar, or be arranged under a coat. It can be slipped over the shoulders like a wrap or pulled up around the ears when hats are forgotten or are still on the needles.

This is a cowl in your choice of once-around, twice-around or thrice-around lengths. My pictures are the middle length.

Soft and warm alpaca - double thick around the ears - makes this hat perfect for deep winter.
