A striking blend of drama and comfort, Victoria Falls is a fit-and-flare cowl that brings movement and texture to even the simplest outfit. Worked in lush, squishy brioche and super bulky yarn, it hugs the neck before flowing outward in gentle increases to sit gracefully around the collarbone and shoulders—like a waterfall in motion.

A special reversible cast-on and bind-off technique means there’s no “wrong side,” so you can wear it any way you like. And with super bulky yarn, it’s a fast, satisfying knit you’ll be wearing in no time.

Whether you style it over a coat or a crewneck, Victoria Falls adds warmth, softness, and a touch of elegance in just a few evenings at your needles.
