This cowl is made especially for using scraps, a special set of yarn or any beautiful skeins that you have been saving. It is a potato-chip knit, one that is perfect for palate cleansing or zoom chats. Use superwash, rustic wool, handspun… all you need are colors that contrast and that make you happy.

This cowl can be worked in any weight and at any length. There are no ends to be woven in and only one seam that is attached in a simple, decorative manner. Choose your yarn weight, length, and colors and just enjoy the knit!
