Melrose Cowl
Montreal is a city full of diversity and it is reflected in its many neighbourhoods, and I am happy to call this city one of my homes.
The colour work in the pattern is my interpretation of the plexus of diversity.
This is a collaboration with the talented Annie B.
In support of her namesake yarn base, I've designed 2 beautiful colourwork cowls.
A short snug version and a long version which allows you to wrap it comfortably twice around your neck.
The cowl is knit in a tube which is then grafted together with the kitchener stitch method.
