Botanical Cowl
This cowl uses an airy double-eyelet pattern that gives it plenty of drape and visual depth. Ribbing at the top and bottom of the cowl prevent curling. Instructions are written for either a single and double loop size. A good single-skein project to feature something special in your stash.
