Barbara is a squishy, comfy and reversible infinity cowl perfect for layering that looks great worn single or double looped. Barbara is sure to be a “go-to” cowl in your wardrobe.

The Barbara cowl is knit flat to allow you to try on your cowl as you knit to get the best length for your height and body type. It showcases the subtleness of hand-dyed yarn and is a satisfying knit perfect for a beginner and beyond.
