Our Swift Street Cowl is a simple pattern that combines wide ribbing with the delightful texture and warmth of a bouclé alpaca yarn! Bouclé is having a big moment in interior design right now, but it has long been a staple in fashion as well from Chanel suits onward. We opted for a modern colour-blocked look, but you could easily make it in narrower stripes or a solid colour.

We named our pattern after Swift Street in Victoria, which is situated by the water and full of converted red-brick industrial buildings. Just like this cowl, Swift Street mixes classic materials and texture with up-to-the-minute style. We’re sure you will love bundling up in this cozy accessory.
