Broad Oak Hill Cowl Kit
We now offer handy kits of this pattern. All kits include enough yarn to make this gradient cowl along with a limited edition button badge and a fab project bag to keep it all safe. Happy crocheting! Please be aware this kit does not include the pattern as it is in our Annual – and we know many of you will have one already. Please visit this link to pick one up if you need a copy of the pattern.
The Broad Oak Hill Cowl pattern is designed by Fay Dashper-Hughes for our Annual (issue two).
