Description
Oh, luxury fibre! How do I love thee? This delightful little cowl will positively spill off your needles. The charming details are eclipsed only by the loveliness of the yarn.
The flora + fauna cowl is knit lengthwise in one piece and the ends are then grafted together. It is made up of three sections: stripes, little flowers and textured lace.
This cowl is knit in two colours with a DK weight yarn. This cowl has one size and no visible seam.
