I love all the cowls that I have knitted and here is the latest one! This one was not for me, but was a Christmas gift – I just might have to make one for myself soon. The great thing about this cowl is that is can be a shoulder shawl or a cowl, depending on how you roll it, fold it or button it. Any opening can be used as a button hole – so the way you put it around your neck is pretty open to what you can imagine!
