The Thistledown Cowl combines the practicality of a cowl with the chic sensibility of a scarf – making it a wonderful layering accessory for colder seasons. The cowl is worked flat from the scarf edge to loop closure while the scarf portion shows off a simple lace chevron patterning. When worn, the patterned portion of the scarf is pulled through the 1x1 ribbed loop to hold it neatly in place.
