This generously sized cowl is a practical and hassle-free piece that can be easily slipped over the head, keeping the hands free for outdoor activities. The minimalist design of bold stripes is easily worked in a combination of knit and purl stitches on every round, and a neat border of garter stitch frames the main body of stripes nicely. This small easy project only uses two balls of &Make Aran, making it a quick, affordable, and excellent introduction to knitting.

Designed and knitted in &Make Aran, a soft 2-ply yarn blend of Highland wool and alpaca, this cowl is a warm breathable project made in great quality fibres.
