Midsummer Haze

**A bohemian cowl that looks like a shawl, but is much easier to wear and style!** You know this is just what you were looking for this summer ;) This 'shcowl' (shawl + cowl) is so quick and satisfying to make! You can use the recommended yarn weight or heavier like fingering or sport for a warmer results. We had it tested in all kinds of yarn, and it looks great every time! The fringe is optional, and to me it adds the perfect Boho touch. Make any simple outfit much more interesting adding the perfect accessory like this one. **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** 33½“ (84 cm) long at deepest point and 27¼“ (68 cm) circumference. See schematic on page 4. **MATERIALS** Yarn: 1 skein of Linea Light by Walk Collection (50% Alpaca, 25% linen, 25% silk - 655y [600m] / 100g). The sample was made using colorway Boho, or you can also use: 1 skein of Delicate Merino by Walk Collection (100% Merino - 655 y [600m] / 100 g), or 2 skeins of KidMohair Lace by Walk Collection (70% kid mohair / 30% silk - 459y [420 m] / 50g) Needles: US 4 (3.5mm) circular needles, 24" long. You will also need a spare needle or dpn in a similar size.

Gauge is not crucial for this project, but changes might result in a different yardage requirement.
