Happiness is autumn and knitting season--where crisp mornings mean you absolutely need a cowl. Fall also brings thoughts of patterned textiles--of plaids and stripes and houndstooth. This cowl is an homage to our favorite autumnal plaids, utilizing a variation of Barbara Walker’s mosaic instant plaid, and worked in an unexpected and ultra-soft yarn.
