Our Beacon Hill Cowl combines elegant stripes and colour fading to create an impactful fabric without demanding a lot of effort from the knitter. We used Rowan Alpaca Classic, an oh-so-soft blend of brushed alpaca and cotton that will keep the chill off in cooler weather as you explore your favourite outdoor places.

The potential colour combinations are nearly endless, so it is easy to make a cowl that is truly one-of-a-kind. Alternately, you can choose one of the colour palettes of our kits, which are inspired by the flora and fauna of Beacon Hill Park. Each kit includes the pattern and 3 balls of Rowan Alpaca Classic, or you can request a free copy of the pattern with purchase from Beehive Wool Shop
