Aster Cowl

The Aster Cowl is exactly like aster flowers: easy to care for, undemanding and suitable for sunny location. With the soft cord, you can tighten the top part so the fabric covers your neck or loosen the cord and wear your cowl loosely hanging on your shoulders. Either way, makes this cowl a unique accessory suitable for both elegant and casual style.

It is a very easy and quick knit what makes this pattern perfect to work on while traveling, during meetings with friends or when you have couple of minutes on hand, just enough to make four rows of one pattern repetition.

The dark pinkish colour and medium-size beads hidden in between the yarn add to the girlishness of this cowl. Surely you will feel beautiful when wearing it.
