The Design
“Especially cuddly in yak!”
Inspired by our ever-popular Easy Folded Poncho, this scaled-down version is totally seamless and slips easily over the shoulders. The simple shape makes it easy to re-yarn in another gauge. Just swatch for a softly draping fabric, then multiply the schematic dimensions by your stitch gauge. The math is easy!
We chose mYak’s for this version of our Two-Point Cowl. In this worsted-weight yarn, three gently twisted plies create a bouncy strand that’s a dream to work with. Warmer than sheep’s wool and as soft as cashmere, this exquisite 100% baby yak yarn is hard-wearing, lush, and ethically sourced.
