A revival of a nostalgic pattern designed by Meri in the early days of amirisu. Originally, this cowl was knit with bulky yarn, but we re-knitted a sample using leftover yarn of fingering weight. The pom-pom at the back are a cute point, combined with the expression of the yarn. The collar is double-layered to keep you warm! Enjoy coordinating it with a coat.
