The Artisan Cowl combines the ease of a cowl with the shape and drape of a shawl for a cozy and stylish accessory.

Worked side to side, Artisan alternates sections of garter stitch and stockinette stitch, creating simple texture and visual interest. Bobbles accent the edge of the garter stitch sections, adding a playful handcrafted detail.

Designed using Yarn Nerds Lisa Lush, this cowl can be made in one color or two complementary colors.
