The I HEART SHEEP cowl is a celebration of those dear little sheepies that provide us with yarn. Wooly and wonderful, I think most knitters would agree that sheep deserve a shout out. I HEART SHEEP!

Worked SEAMLESSLY from the top down, this cowl knits up quickly (like any good cowl should), but wears like a hassle-free shawl. Unlike traditional tube cowls that rumple into a pile of knitting around your neck, this shawl-shaped construction lets your knitting shine by creating a triangular front and shortened back. The shape is wonderful, wearable, and just plain fun to knit. This cowl is available in child and adult sizing!

This Cowl Includes:

• Top-Down, Seamless Construction

• Shawl-Shaped Wearability

• Simple, Fun Colorwork

• Charts & Written Instructions

• Endless Stash-Busting Opportunities
