Zip Zag Cowl
Do you need a quick gift? A palette cleanser between projects? Something last-minute as the temperature starts to drop? A use for 1 precious skein of worsted weight? This cowl starts out fairly solid with a cozy warmth up at the top of your jacket where the wind hits you, and then increases in laciness and width to comfortably nestle at your collar bone.
