This is the Haula Cowl! I recently got some Brava yarn from Knit Picks to review. I felt inspired so I decided to make a little cowl out of it.
The great thing about this cowl is it only takes one skein! That’s about 218 yards. It’s also really quick. I made mine in one evening! The pattern is just one size but you could easily pick up another skein and add more bulk if you wanted.

I just love these cowl/shawl hybrids. The have all the bulk in the front but less in the back so you look less like a hunch back. It’s a really fun shape to play with!
