Intertwined Squares - double sided cowl
This cowl is based on a repetitive motif playing with intertwining squares and it is worked with two green shades that gives it a subtle tonal effect. The two shades are switched on the second half of the cowl. The cowl is worked in one piece, as it is folded in half and seamlessly grafted, it can be worn on both sides.
