A favorite among staff and friends, the Montana Mountain Cowl is a moebius cowl designed by Andrea Mowry knit in the round with an engaging yet relaxing mosaic pattern. Warm and cozy, knit it with a cashmere blend yarn like YOTH Little Brother for some extra luxury, or try the local yarn we used in our shop sample (details below).
If I were to pick my favorite cowl style, it is definitely the Moebius cowl. It is perfect for colorwork projects because the floats are hidden inside, and it is so easy to style. Just pop it on to finish any outfit! The Montana Mountain Cowl uses the Mosaic method to add color and texture to this engaging knit!
