Looking for a quick cozy knit with plenty of texture? Inspired by a sweater I spotted while accompanying my teenager to the mall, this cowl hits all the right knitting buttons…there’s enough to keep you interested, but it’s easy enough to knit with a little distraction around.

Directions are given for making this cowl longer or shorter. The pattern is fully charted and written.
