Woodland Violet Cowl
By Carly Stipe We have long, cold, snowy winters here in the upper Midwest, so when spring flowers start to bloom, Oh boy do we love them! This versatile cowl is knit in a lightweight blend of wool and silk. Knit in a loose gauge. We think it is the perfect spring accessory.
Spring has sprung!
