**Place 3 patterns in your cart and get 25% off with a code - MDW49OFFER** This infinity cowl is gorgeous, and a very easy pattern, using 2 different size needles the pattern knits up very quickly. The cowl is reversible. It is long enough to loop around the neck twice, and can be knitted a little shorter to have a more snug fit which would take less wool The sample is knitted with Rowan Wool Cotton 4ply, although this is a discontinued yarn you can still get it from some websites. Approx yarn used 85g The softest of wools in the Merino blend mixed 50/50 with a durable cotton. Super soft and squishy.
