Reminiscent the fluffy tufts of milkweed pods, one of the last signs of the fading fall. Big and beautiful this generously cozy cowl works up super quick. Wonderful for gifts, or for wrapping yourself in thick and luxurious woolen warmth!

This cowl features super easy slip stitch cables which offers visual texture and interest. Begun with a provisional cast on, and knit flat, make it as long or as short as you wish! The cowl is finished by grafting the live end to the provisional cast on.
