An exceptionally cozy little cowl that is light and fuzzy.

Size
Genessee Street Cowl measures 22” in circumference and is 18” tall. The pattern is easily modified for a larger or smaller cowl. As this cowl is designed to use all of one skein of Holst Lucia, please keep in mind that making a larger cowl will require more yarn.

  • Shown in: Color A: Mermaid (165 yards) Color B: Eternity (55 yards)
