This is a really easy but gorgeous short cowl that you can make in a jiffy if you are a fast crocheter. It was made in a variegated that had been stashed for a while, that is why I am not including the specific color.
You can easily make it in any Red Heart variegated of your choice and it will be just as lovely, because it is the stitches and the shape of the cowl that counts. Enjoy!
