The Design
“Who doesn't love some tweed around the neck?”
We noticed that some knitters were knitting the cowl from our Churchmouse Classics Easy Folded Poncho separately, which gave us an idea for a separate cowl with added purl welts for a sculptural effect.
Nora’s wearing the cowl with a matching set of Churchmouse Classics Welted Fingerless Gloves. If you knit this small size cowl in Rowan Felted Tweed, you’ll have plenty of yarn remaining to knit a pair of gloves. (Just head over to the page for the pattern.)
And you can grab the Welted Cowl & Infinity Loop pattern (if you don't already own it) and pick your yarn above.
