Ode to Haiku
Like the Japanese poetry known as Haiku, where each line is a lyrical three syllable pattern, this lacy Hood Cowl is based on the Haiku concept of “three lyrical syllables “in its design and construction.
This technique yields you both a beautiful lacey cowl, full of beautiful drape, to wear around your neck, or a hood, to pull over your head when the weather turns chilly.
Designed for the advanced to expert knitter, this piece is knit in the round with “knitted & built in shaping“ for that beautiful drape and softness.
