The Sand and the Sea Cowl

In Cowls, Fingering weight yarn, Patterns, Shop sample available by Shannon

The Sand and the Sea Cowl was inspired by the beauty of the Oregon Coast. The slipped stitches recall a sandy beach, whereas the mesh sections are inspired by all of the lovely texture the Pacific Ocean shares with us. It’s a fabulous excuse to mix two complementary colors, inspired by the ocean of your dreams.
