At around 7,560 stitches, it's the most substantial cowl in our exclusive collection — a warm, plush accessory that looks great on everyone. Knit in soft, superwash Malabrigo Rios, the Buffalo Plaid Cowl is quick to finish and endlessly giftable, whether you're making one for a loved one or casting on a few for your handmade holiday gift list. Classic, cozy, and always in style — this is the winter cowl you'll want to make again and again. Kit includes: 2 skeins of Malabrigo Rios (Ravelry Red and Black), 5 pear-shaped markers, a wooden beginning-of-round marker, a color-printed pattern and a clear project bag with handles. Malabrigo Rios is 100% superwash Merino, worsted weight and wonderful to knit or crochet in. Needles are not included; pattern calls for US 6 x 16" and US 8 x 16".
