Indulge in a little stylish comfort on a brisk day with this gorgeous
knitted cowl. Cables and lace come together in a fun and surprisingly
easy stitch pattern to create the whimsical tilting effect. Wear the
smallest size as cozy neck warmer and the larger size as a hood. Soft

for this quick project.

unique stitch marker to easily identify where you joined to work in the
round.
