Simple shaping at the center front creates cozy coverage over your shirt’s neckline. The cowl
ends with a reverse stockinette edge to keep the bottom from curling up.

Tara Roberts of Stranded by the Sea gave me this yarn at Red Alder Fiber Arts Retreat, and I knew exactly what it wanted to be. It took me a few tries to figure out how to best make the Flame Motif, but once that was sorted, it flew off my needles!
