Southern Alberta can be the scene of some pretty dramatic skies, and when they are combined with the vibrant colour of canola crops, the resulting colour combinations lead to the creative inspiration that results in this multi-coloured cowl.
Inspired by the dark blue and grey of the clouds, the bright blue of the sky, and the yellow of blossoming canola flowers this neck-warmer style cowl incorporates a selection of stitch motifs to add interest - for both the knitter and the wearer!
