This cowl design was inspired by a scarf I saw in a shop window in New York. I have taken many liberties with the design I saw, of course, and completly Nonified it. It is a unique cowl that, when wrapped around your neck twice, snuggles close and keeps out the brisk winds. Alternatively, leave it unwrapped when winds are not so brisk: it wears like an art piece you picked up in a shop in, well, Soho, that specializes in all things fine and custom-made.
Offered in our exquisite bulky, the drape is a pleasure and, because it is worked on large needles, you'll be able to make 1 in a weekend (maybe a night!). A beautiful cowl. A beautiful gift. A treasure for yourself.
The complete kit to make this beautiful cowl includes the following:
1 Window Shopping in Soho pattern in pdf form
2 skeins of Noni Luxurious Bulky yarn
1 Noni Velvet or Organza Project Bag as our gift
See additional details below for difficulty level, finished dimensions, gauge, and a list of materials necessary to complete this project.
Beginner Skill Builder: Requires provisional cast on, knitting and purling, and joining the scarf to form a cowl using either a 3-needle bind off or grafting the two ends together.

Size 50 straight or circular needles with an additional needle to work a 3-needle bind off (the additional needle is not needed if you want to graft the two ends together).
