The Vallo cowl is an entertaining project with it’s graphic, allover colorwork and interesting angles. The generous funnel shape slips over one or both shoulders and fits comfortably around the neck for a divinely cozy effect. The pattern is worked from the bottom up with a central decrease at the front causing the piece to dwindle into ever smaller rounds as you knit. With every completed round, the momentum builds—you won’t be able to put this project down!
