This Winter Lilac Cowl is a tall cowl that when worn will gather at your neck keeping you warm and comfortable. It’s also not as long as other cowls making it great for wearing just underneath your coat. It’s a quick and easy cowl to work up using stitch combinations resembling the “V” you see in knit projects.
