Wrap yourself in a piece of the cosmos with Drops of Jupiter, a cowl that feels like a warm embrace under a starlit sky. Shimmering beads rest like tiny stars amid delicate lace, creating a captivating contrast with cosy stockinette sections. Perfect for stargazers and dreamers, Drops of Jupiter isn’t just a cowl – it’s a journey through a night filled with wonder and warmth.

With various sizes available, from small that is like a snug embrace to a larger infinity style cowl, you can customise your style effortlessly. Whether you prefer written directions or charts, you’ll find both options included to suit your knitting preference. You’ll be able to work independently with your preferred directions once the initial ribbing is done.
