CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN COWL KIT
by Caroline Sommerfeld
Each KIT includes the Pattern and the amount of Yarn required
The Climb Every Mountain Cowl is a stranded cowl with Selbu motif roots that are chosen to commemorate a fond memory of a hike in the Rocky Mountains with my dear hubby from back when we were courting. The hike begins (and ends) with a walk along a lovely, treed path that wends its way along a stream that is partially buried in the snow and then heads up a set of steep stairs to a very pretty climb to a mountain cirque. Once you’re back at the bottom a nice hot cup of hot chocolate is the perfect way to end the day and the perfect thing to drink when you are knitting this cowl!
