Shortcut Cowl

Short Description: This fun, little knit is a compromise between a cowl and a shawl. The Shortcut cowl was designed for knitters who love the look of a shawl, but only have the time and yardage for a cowl. Worked SEAMLESSLY from the top down, it knits up quickly (like any good cowl should), but wears like a hassle-free shawl.
