The GÖTE Cowl for dogs is knit with a Merino and Silk Wool blend - creating a super soft fabric. The twisted rib stitch gives the cowl a beautifully well-defined rib pattern on the outside and the stockinette stitch on the inside allows for the cowl to be worn two ways. The longer circumference is intended for the cowl to be twisted and worn as a double loop.

The GÖTE Cowl is knit in the round for a double-layered fabric, starting with a provisional cast-on. The cowl will then be knit in the round in twisted rib pattern, then stockinette stitch. Kitchener’s stitch will be used to join the cowl in the round seamlessly.

GÖTE is derived from the name Göteborg – the second largest city in Sweden situated on the West Coast. A fashionable and friendly city close to the sea.
