Wrap up in Rilla, designed by Bristol Ivy. Perfect for transitioning between the seasons, this cozy cocoon is worked in wool/alpaca Owl from the bottom up, with cables traveling up the garter stitch body. Shaping occurs at the back yoke’s center, directing the cables outward to the shoulders, with applied i-cord polishing it all off.
