‘Singing dunes’ is a strange phenomenon where air hums and groans through the sand as high winds sweep across the desert.

A stranded colourwork cowl, Singing Dunes is worked from bottom to top, full of little flowering cacti, vivid colours and heat rising over the dunes. Complete with a snazzy cabled brim top and bottom - it’s a looker!

6 pages - loads of help and links to videos including a tutorial on the hand appliqued cactus flowers!
