Cora Cowl

The Cora Cowl uses texture to create chevrons for lovely cowl

The sister pattern to the Clara Cowl, the Cora Cowl is a joy to knit. Its simplicity makes it fast and fun, but the texture it creates makes for a cowl that is anything but simple. Add in the rich color of the Blackberry Cotlin yarn from KnitPicks and its a stunner.

The Cora Cowl is a great addition to any winter wardrobe, and can be worn in the spring and fall when you need a bit of warmth without the bulk of a jacket. It’s soft and washable which makes it great for moms with snuggly little ones too!

Cotlin is a DK weight yarn and can easily be substituted for your favorite new yarn or an old stand by in your stash.

Lion Brand Flikka is a great option for this cowl
