This cowl began as a quest for a statement piece that could pair well with basic garments in my capsule wardrobe. The three-dimensional shape is achieved with a few strategically placed purl stitches and a firm gauge - this is stress-free knitting at its best! Pair a chunky yarn with a bold (or not) color, and you, too, can have the perfect accessory in no time! For a fun gift presentation, fold the cowl into an accordion and tie a ribbon around it.
