This geometric motif is inspired by the Cascade Mountain Range in the PNW. It uses repeating triangles to suggest rolling mountains across the horizon, with dots of colorwork representing misty rain. Asymmetrical mirror of the pattern evokes the reflection of the mountains across the lake.
This pattern is a stranded colorwork cowl, knit in the round from the bottom up, bordered by corrugated ribbing and Latvian braids. The chart includes decreases near the top for a sophisticated and tapered finish.
