The North Shore Cowl is a beautifully textured cowl knit in super bulky Be Wool Multis. This quick project is soft, springy, and features splashes of gorgeous color. The purled “bow tie” effect is created with deceptively simple Long Stitches. This stitch also gives the edges of the cowl an undulating effect, mimicking the flow of cool ocean waters kissing the shore.
