Alexis creates another head-turning design with the Vallo cowl, knit in our luxurious, DK weight Phoebe yarn. An entertaining project from start-to-finish, it features graphic, all-over colorwork and interesting angles. Its generous silhouette slips over one or both shoulders and fits comfortably around the neck for a divinely cozy effect. Worked from the bottom up, its central decrease causes the piece to grow smaller as you knit. And with every completed round, the momentum builds—you won’t be able to put this project down!
