Meaning Hoar Frost in Scottish Gaelic, Liath-Reòthadh is a simple but fun cowlette. Knit from the top down like a traditional triangular shawl, Liath-Reòthadh is joined in the round just before the lace starts turning it from shawl to cowlette. The border on this cowlette is made up of little arrows which grow into large leaves at the edge, with delicate points formed between the leaves for a dramatic flare. Somewhere between a small shawl and a cowl, this is a fun knit and makes a fantastic easy to wear accessory!
