I love a moebius cowl as it is perfect for when you don’t want to have to weave in lots of ends from colorwork! Not to mention - it happens to be my favorite style of cowl to wear - double win! This cowl features the stunning Baby Yak yarn from mYak and rhythmic colorwork that makes it hard to set down!
