This cowl was inspired by Beatrix Potter, her works, and the Hill Top Farm, where the author of many adorable children’s books lived. The swells and welts of the cowl look like rolling landscapes, reminding of the serenity of the countryside.
Originally designed for the Beatrix Box Series, curated by Anne Vally, this cowl is now available as an individual pattern.

The shapes are classic—a Scottish style tam and a geometric cowl. The yarn is my own gently-processed, domestic-grown Targhee wool, and the colorways I’ve developed for the kit are drawn directly from the fields of Hill Top Farm and its vegetable gardens: rich, earthy, and warm.

Like Hill Top, the Flourish Cowl and Tam set is unpretentious, simple, and creative. Beatrix wrote more than half of her tiny books while living at Hill Top Farm, and in the landscape there, you can see her works come to life from the little rhubarb patch where Jemima Puddleduck tried to hide her eggs to a small vegetable garden that reminds you of Peter Rabbit’s brazen thievery. The swells and welts of the cowl look like rolling landscapes, and the gentle colorwork of the tam resemble tidy rows of a garden.

As you knit Flourish, whether you choose the cowl or the tam or both, we hope they will remind you of home. That safe place where you can be your full self and where you can flourish.

To knit this:

• You should know how to knit, purl, reduce and increase stitches.
• Be able to follow written instructions to create a welt.
