About:
This cozy cowl is worked in the round (seamlessly without turning fabric) from the bottom up using a beautifully textured puff v-stitch, creating a thick, plush fabric that feels warm against the skin. An optional I-cord tie is threaded through the top edge, allowing you to cinch the cowl snugly around your neck on especially chilly days. It’s a quick and enjoyable project with just enough texture to keep things interesting.
