The Design
“Fluffy, furry, fantastic.”
We’ve called it a capelet. And a poncho. And a cowl. With all its versatility, we love our Shoulder Cozy’s wide, bell-like shape—it fits comfortably around your shoulders and is generously squishy when scrunched up around your neck!
This version of our Shoulder Cozy, knit in faux fur Sirdar , is an updated nod to gorgeous, vintage accessories. Alpine is a bulky-weight yarn that’s akin to a fringed ribbon crafted entirely in polyester. Superbly soft and supremely pettable, this yarn is machine washable—perfect for this retro-inspired cozy!
