Pure comfort in this brand new Squishy Nate cowl~
This is an easy and quick knit, making it a great gift idea. Wear it upside up or down, toss it around, flip it over under or out….
This accessory is the one you need for the season for sure. It’s squishy soft and super comfy to wear. The neckline seam is done with a crochet hook, no worries it is very easy to do.

The unblocked measurements are 15“ in length, the neckline measures 26“ in the round and the slit of course is what makes this piece so very versatile, see the many photos…

Yarn
2 Chunks skeins, each has 50 yards in a chunky cotton which looks like its wrapped in a skinny string adding the fabulous textures. Machine wash cold, lay flat to dry.
