"This beautiful cowl is so soft and elegant! Your friends will think you bought it at a fancy boutique! I worked this beauty up sitting at a pool party in less than two hours, and only used one ball of yarn, so it's really a one skein project as well. The yarn I used had about a 15% content of Mohair, and was on the fine side at a weight of three. I'm sure any weight yarn would work for this pattern, but I would aim for a lighter yarn!
