Chunky, cozy, oversized: Flirt is a hand knit cowl/collar with graceful cables and an i-cord edge.

Flirt is one of 25 knitting patterns compiled in Knit & Wrap: 25 Capelets, Collars & Cowls, published by Lark Crafts (ed. Nathalie Mornu) in September 2010.

Shown in Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick. Other super bulky yarns will also work beautifully (suggested alternates: Twinkle Chunky, Blue Sky Alpaca Bulky and Plymouth Mega Encore).
