This super cozy cowl was designed for my walks to work through the Wisconsin winter. The oversized cables gather the fabric for a thick cozy layer around the neck that can be pulled up over the face and down over the shoulders. It is fitted enough in the shoulders that it can be tucked under your jacket, or it can be draped over your jacket scarf-style for a more dramatic look. In the most inclement weather it can be pulled up over your face to ward off the wind and snow. This cowl is like a big, warm hug you won’t want to leave the house without on winter days. Pick any of Malabrigo’s bright colors to add a bit of sunshine to those gloomy midwinter days.
