ZOOLOGIST HAT & COWL
Designed by Michelle Porter
This delightful duo presents a stunning set of stripes to keep you warm and stylish. The Zoologist Hat and Cowl set can represent any personality you wish, by changing the colour combination to emulate a zebra, tiger, kitty, or perhaps even wood grain. Worked in the round, the charted pattern is perfect for two-handed, stranded colourwork technique. Subtle shaping in the cowl allows the cowl to sit nicely in place.
