  • Grape Mist cowl is a light and careless accessory suitable for any occasion. The basic idea for this design was to make a versatile cowl in one size that could be worn in many different ways, buttoned-up or buttoned-down: as a cape, cowl or snood.

  • This design features a reversible lace stitch pattern which is a combination of a rib stitch and mesh stitch in one. The resulting fabric looks good both either blocked, to make an open and airy mesh fabric, or lightly blocked, to preserve the volume created by the rib stitch component..

  • It is knit in a simple yet classic rectangular shape and finished with a semi-attached button closure to add interest and expand functionality.
