The Norland Park Cowl is a simple, addictive knit that combines knits and purls for a super-squishy, cozy texture. It’s scrunchable and foldable—wear it high on your neck or fold it down turtleneck-style for a double layer of soft warmth. Worked in Loop Petal, it’s soft enough for next-to-skin wear and perfect for gifts.
