Prepare yourself for a galactic journey through many dimensions of spacetime! But with yarn. Inspired by the portal gun from the irreverent sci-fi cartoon Rick and Morty, this cowl features a portal-like circle framed in i-cord from which the rest radiates. Stripes, garter, stockinette, mesh, ribbing, i-cord edging – the cosmic adventure never ends! This cowl varies in texture, depth, and height for an accessory fit for a mad scientist traveling the vast expanse of the universe.
