Take Me Away

Take Me Away... a cowl designed to do just that! With three simple stitches and a super easy beading technique, Take Me Away will soar off your needles. Lace weight yarn is held both single and double to create depth and texture within the stitches. Take Me Away has two sizes, a smaller circumference to slide  over your head and a larger wrap around your neck or shoulders version!
