The Scandes Cowl is a tribute to the mesmerizing geometric patterns that dance across the surface of the North Sea's waves, and the towering peaks of the mountains that overlook northern fjords. The captivating display of the contrasting colours create a wearable work of art with no 'back' or 'wrong' side to it. Crafted as a circular tube, it's designed for effortless and versatile wear.
The cowl is worked in the round, beginning with a provisional cast-on and culminating in a graft which seamlessly unites the final round with the provisionally cast-on stitches. The Scandes Cowl is more than just an accessory; it's an homage to the ever-shifting motions of the sea, and the eternal shapes of the mountains, encapsulated in every stitch.
