The Checked Cowl combines a bold geometric pattern with a slightly retro feel and gorgeous autumnal colors. Knit in baby alpaca, this striking infinity scarf is incredibly soft and warm, and knits up quickly…just in time for fall wear. The size is easily adjustable, both in width and circumference.
