Royal Petites Animals
Hailing from the wilds of Kazungula, Hector is a reserved sort of fellow, having spent his early years in the shadow of his many older brothers and sister (hippos are a hierarchical bunch, you see). Hes a lover of long soaks in the bath, a voracious reader, and always up for a thoughtful discussion about current events. He’s also a very good listener, and will drop everything to be there when you need him.

Grab some Woolstok Tweed and your knitting needles and let's make the Everyone Loves Accessories pattern for March. The Lulu Cowl is knit with Woolstok Tweed, an 85% Fine Highland Wool / 15% Donegal blend that we released in 2022. Knit with only three hanks, this cowl is the perfect project for advanced beginners. As written, the Lulu Cowl is designed as a one-color cowl. Today, we are sharing how easy it is to modify this cowl and create a two-color piece.
