Understated and elegant, this cowl simply slips over your head and hugs your neck, just like a beautiful strand of pearls. Our sample was knit holding two strands of Plucky sport weight cashmere together. And, needle sizes were changed to create a fabric with just the right amount of drape.

This afternoon I was informed that this pattern is similar to another pattern Snuggle Cowl that was published recently. Please know it’s a complete coincidence.

While there are similarities (that great stitch pattern!) there are differences in gauge/yarn usage/shape. Please be assured that the concept was authentic and original. One can never have too many cowls and I do believe there are differences between the two patterns and encourage you to try them both on for size!
