Grab some Woolstok Tweed and your knitting needles and let's make the Everyone Loves Accessories pattern for March. The Lulu Cowl is knit with Woolstok Tweed, an 85% Fine Highland Wool / 15% Donegal blend that we released in 2022. Knit with only three hanks, this cowl is the perfect project for advanced beginners.
