Clarendon Cowl

This luxurious cowl plays with knitted stripes in an unconventional way; the reverse stockinette creates strings of colored pearls at each color change. Mix up your color choices and bust that stash; try a palette of earth tones, or how about shades of grey with a dash of gold? Knitted in the round as a long tube and grafted, this double length cowl is double thick and makes the perfect cold weather gift for men or women.
