This textured, warm, convertible unisex cowl is ridiculously easy to knit, perfect for instant gratification and last minute gifts! Asbrago is worked in the round and is easily customizable by adding or subtracting a multiple of 3 sts at cast on. My sample is worked with only half skein of Tosh Merino, this makes possible to use leftovers, luxury handspun and expensive yarns with a Small budget!
