Have you come across any of the beautiful chunky knit cowls that are becoming popular? My favorites are the ones made by Neckwear Outfitters! They just look so pretty and cozy. The only thing is, I am not a fan of things wrapping around my neck...weird I know. I can handle my hair and a scarf, but things brushing against the front of my neck is too much for me to handle.
Still, these new chunky cowls inspired me to make a version of my own. It is the most simple pattern, and the cowl works up in no time!
If you like the cowl, but don't feel like making it, you can purchase them in customizable colors in the ChirpinBirdie Etsy shop!
