Inspiration
This cowl celebrates the inspired sunflower pictures of Vincent Van Gogh.

For the cowl his colour effects are mirrored through holding two yarns together and knitting them as one, using the marling technique. The cowl is knitted in the round, using slipped stiches for the colour work.

The blue version of the cowl - Starry Skies, is also available from Knorfolknots.
