THE SHADOWSINGER SHOWL IS INSPIRED BY MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER IN ACOTAR, AZRIEL!

I WANTED THIS COWL DESIGN TO GIVE OFF “BIG WINGSPAN ENERGY” / DYSTOPIAN ASSASSIN VIBES.

WHEN BREAKING THIS DESIGN DOWN TO ITS CORE IT’S A SIMPLE COWL KNIT IN THE ROUND THAT THEN SWITCHES TO FLAT KNITTING. THIS CREATES A FABRIC IN THE BACK THAT LAYS BETWEEN THE CROSS BACK/ SHOULDER BLADE AREA TO MIMIC WINGS.
