Welted Cowl Using Rowan Summerlite DK
The Design
We love how the purl welts of this fun cowl give a fascinatingly sculptural effect and give you an opportunity to play with color and texture! Cross the color wheel for a striking contrast, or pick subtle shades for a soft depth. Either way, your Welted Cowl will be cleverly reversible!
This version of our cowl was knit in Rowan Summerlite DK—beautifully soft and lightweight. In this DK-weight yarn, Rowan uses the finest Giza cotton—the creme de la creme of Egyptian cotton. This yarn is soft and tactile with a unique matte look.
