Tweedy Cowl Kit

This beautiful cowl starts with stockinette stitch in one colour and then a tweed-inspired fair isle detail is worked in two colours. Tweedy Cowl has a simple modern construction and is worked seamlessly as a tube in the round. Once the desired length is reached, the final row is grafted onto the cast on edge using Kitchener Stitch in order to create a seamless loop for the cowl. Knitted in two shades of Luma, a lofty blend of organic cotton, linen, Merino wool and silk, makes this cowl a warm layering piece for when the weather is cool, yet light enough for wearing in warmer climates too.
