Novena Cowl

Warmer days are here, and the weather forecast has a warning: the temperature will drop after sunset.

A bandana cowl is the ideal accessory to wear these days: perfect for the extra warmth you need.

Novena Cowl has the elegance of a lacy shawl without the bulk behind your neck.

Easy to style, it uses only one skein – between 250 (Aran) and 320 (sock) meters of yarn, according to size and yarn weight you chose.

Perfect for one of those beautiful orphan skeins of your stash.
