Summer Cowl

Pattern included free with kit purchase; kits available at The Plucky Knitter. We love our newest warm-weather base, Linden Sport. And, the Summer Cowl, Two Ways nods to all the best features of this yarn! Knit the cowl in seed stitch for crisp texture that shows off the structured drape of the silk and linen--or go for sporty stripes and knock out a quick-to-knit two-color dream with just a hint of cashmere halo! It’s knitter’s choice.
