Coppelia

Introducing Coppelia, a stunning shawl-cowl hybrid that's perfect for knitters looking to create a versatile accessory that combines style and warmth. This substantial design features beautiful stripes and simple construction, making it an ideal project for knitters of all skill levels. Coppelia begins as a semi-circular shawl and seamlessly transitions into a cowl, offering the delightful appearance of a shawl wrapped snugly around the neck multiple times.

You can easily pull it down over your shoulders for added coziness in chilly climes, making this versatile piece an essential addition to your wardrobe.
