Fashionable checks are anything but square, whether you opt for a bold high-contrast impact or a more subtle blend of colors. Get creative and make use of those beautifully crafted leftovers in your stash to create a unique, one-of-a-kind accessory that showcases your personal style.

The Check is a versatile two-colour cowl that features a stunning striped design, where well-placed increases and decreases provide an eye-catching checkered appearance.
