The Mirrored Cowl is a beautiful and luxurious pattern that brings warmth and coziness to any wardrobe.
The luxurious collar is knitted with our Dolce yarn made from 100% brushed cashmere, ensuring the highest level of comfort and warmth.

This cowl is worked lengthwise using the stranded colorwork technique before sewing the cast-on and bind-off edges together. The two sides of the cowl mirror each other by alternating the background and pattern colors.

On the first side, color 1 is used for the background and color 2 is used for the pattern while on the second side, this is reversed with color 2 used for the background and color 1 for the pattern. Each side is separated by a single purl column which acts as a seam, separating the two sides.
