The Fisherman’s Cowl by Maxim Cyr is a light and airy cowl knitted in the round using a simple combination of yarn-overs and knit-two-togethers. You can choose between a small cowl or a larger double-wrap version. It’s a relaxing and engaging project, with the added joy of watching the colours shift as you knit.
