The earth is transformed with the change of each season, with autumn painting the landscape with bursts of colour and introducing a subtle crispness in the air. This cowl was designed on the autumnal equinox, inspired by the beautiful landscape of British Columbia. The combination of lace and slipped stitches is an enjoyable knit that you won’t want to put down, and leaves you with a cowl that can be worn throughout the changing seasons.
