I knit this up from Jen Geigley’s wonderful “GAP-tastic Cowl” pattern that she has generously made available on Ravelry. I used a little heavier yarn (Debbie Bliss Paloma) and a larger needle (size 17). I cast on 107 stiches. I love the result. Paloma is an alpaca blend that is very light, so even though there’s a pile of stuff around your neck it still feels great. Quick and easy to knit. What could be better?

The Bella Lana Mohair Wrap
January 25th, 2012
This great little wrap was inspired by a well-known designer’s mohair wrap. It’s knit with two strands of yarn – one mohair and one wool boucle. This gives it a cozy texture. It can be worn as shown, as a cowl, under or over a coat. It’s super-easy to knit in garter stitch on size 15 needles. We have it kitted-up in a variety of colors at the shop.
