Basic Meets Beautiful in this Surprisingly Versatile Cowl

If you love jeans, you’re going to love this cowl!

Knit in denim hues, it’s light, versatile, and naturally bouncy.

The patterning is achieved with slipped stitches, making colour work easy and fun. And, it’s based on Garter Stitch, so there’s no purling, and the edges won’t roll. Can I get a hallelujah?!
