This design is a companion to the Back to School Hat. The Back to School Cowl is perfect for the teacher, school board member, principal, superintendent, or student in your life. It’s a fun, quick knit. A friend even suggested using a crazy multi-colored yarn instead of goldenrod to mimic those plastic-coated pencils that
break pencil sharpeners (and drive teachers crazy).
