Ansh Cowl

Ansh Cowl is a versatile accessory that can live in your wardrobe and can easily be thrown over any outfit for an instant update. Knitted with a rich variegated yarn, it can add a brilliant color pop and round out even the most basic looks.

A few reasons Ansh could be your next project:

♡ One skein of DK is a nice medium to work with. :)

♡ The stitches are basic - knit, purl, k2tog, ssk, yo.

♡ Construction is fun and engaging, you would actually want to complete it. Most of my testers took less than a week.

♡ The finished item is stylish, easy to wear and works with a lot of outfits.
