The Lulu Cowl, Make Your Own Version

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.
