Rock Moss Cowl
The Rock Moss Cowl is completely reversible and can be worn long or wrapped around the neck. The beautiful mix of merino and silk give a wonderful drape and luxurious shine. The rolled edges are created with simple stocking stitch, so no i-cords or picking up stitches are required. The pop of colour at the edge can be a great way to use up the left-overs of a favourite yarn. This quick knit is the perfect gift for you or someone special.
