Checkered Block Cowl
$0.00
A quick to knit cowl that is ideal for a weekend project. The very soft Australian wool yarn is squishy and warm and the easy colourwork pattern creates a stylish, designer cowl. Constructed without a seam, in the round, with circular knitting needles and using our range of Cob Super Bulky yarn (100% Australian merino wool, fully processed and spun in Australia), this cowl is a great gift.
