This is a second Ammolite Cowl pattern! Because I loved the colour so much.

Ammolite is the name given to the gem produced from the fossilized remains of ammonites. Ammonites were cephalopods that dominated ancient oceans 65 to 75 million years ago. When the ammonites died, their shells fell to the bottom of the sea and were covered with sediment. Aragonite in the sediment permeated the ammonites’ shells and turned them into iridescent, opal-like ammolite fossils. The colours of ammolites range through the entire spectrum making them the perfect inspiration for this rainbow-coloured cowl.
