The Soulful Blanket Cowl is an oversized cowl (when worn gathered & snuggly) or can be fashioned as a capelet when you allow it to drape over you. I wanted an easy to throw on knit for the in-between-seasons weather, but it has become much more for me! I love to wear the Soulful BC in lieu of snuggling in a blanket while knitting in my favorite chair - when I am spending time out in my porch or just feel like I need a little something on my shoulders.

Knit in Light Bulky or Aran weight yarn, this quick knit is a lightweight, but warm seasonal-transition piece you’ll want to grab for over and over.

Soulful features beginner friendly stranded colorwork and a hint of herringbone!

Offered in four sizes, choose the size that best suits your desired length and ease.
