Wisdom of Wind is a colourwork cowl that is knit as a long tube and grafted together into a loop. This means there’s not a single purl stitch in the entire cowl. The colourwork is pretty simple to work, with only a few floats to catch in the whole repeat. The pattern contains several options for fit and colours. Colourwork pattern is fully charted.
