The Fairview Cowl was inspired by a hike I did in Banff National Park at the Fairview Mountain. It is the highest summit you can day hike in the Canadian Rockies. The vertical knit line going up the cowl signifies this trail and all of its challenges. This hike has very few switchbacks so you are left to hike straight up the vertical incline, but when you get to the top it is a “fair view” as far as the eye can see (including to the beautiful Lake Louise below). When worn, the knit line goes from the ribbing to the collar of the cowl, or the “summit”. Plus, this cowl is reversible: the best of both textures or a simple striped cowl great for both men and women. This cowl is meant to be worn under a jacket and is a great Canadian hiking accessory. I hope you enjoy knitting this cowl as much as I enjoyed designing it.
Please read through the entire pattern before you buy any supplies or start knitting.
