This cowl reminds us of winter walks along the breakwater at Ogden Point. The stripes suggest the breathtaking vista: grey skies overhead, a line of mountains in the distance, and tumultuous seas below. The yarn itself, while quite fine, is beautifully soft and warm, and the length of the cowl allows it to drape and gather around the neck for maximum cozy style.

We have chosen a subtle blue-grey colour palette, but the cowl would look great in any number of combinations. You can follow our example, drawing colours from a favourite place, or simply choose whatever colour catches your eye. Either way, this beautiful cowl will be a pleasure to knit and to wear.
