The Cereal Cowl is worked in the round as a cylinder, with an elegant multicolored pattern that includes elements of texture. Leonora from Permin, with silk, wool, and mohair, makes the cowl soft and comfortable for transitional seasons and winter. It uses little yarn per size, making it a good stash-busting project too.
