Overview
After missing a cowl on many trips to Zürich, I designed this as a simple and fast solution, perfect for that special single skein of yarn. The yarn I chose creates a stable fabric and is ‘next-to-skin’ soft.

Construction
Stitches are cast on in the round and worked in a rib pattern before being split into 2 panels. The project is then finished by working back and forth before binding off with an i-cord.
