  Choose one color of DK weight wool and enjoy the brioche and Dip Stitches of this cozy cowl. This cowl is knit in the round with a textured layer of wool. The lining is also knit in the round with fluffy suri alpaca. Then, your final fluffy round is seamed to the cast on edge. The instructions include video links to assist with the Dip Stitch patterns. I used West Wool Tandem, my favorite DK weight yarn for hats and sweaters. It’s so smooth to knit with and beautifully showcases textured stitches with crisp stitch definition.
