This beautiful chunky cowl is inspired by the legend of St Columba and the beast of Loch Ness. The traditional crossing of the Celtic braid reflecting the choppy waters of the deep and mysterious Loch.

This cowl looks stunning but is actually a very easy knit braiding together lengths of wide i-cord. The pattern has lots of photos and clear instructions to complete the braided sections.
