Whilst its glamourous sister, the beaded Ice Boa knitted in Kidsilk Haze and Fine Lace, is more at home with chic, city winter style, this boa by contrast is a chunky and simplified version. The deep godet-style double ‘inserts’, when knitted in Cocoon, have fantastic visual impact and create a swirling water-fall edge effect. This is your practical Ice Boa, ideal for winter dog-walking days.

Uses 3 x 100g balls of Rowan Cocoon.
