designed by Kim Swingle (additional info below)
This cowl wasoriginally inspired by the graceful and flowing braids seen on dressage horses. The pattern includes 3 different cable and lace stitch motifs and 3 different sizes (short, long, and infinity) that can be mixed and matched into numerous unique and beautiful cowls.
To show off the details of the cablework and lace, this pattern works best with solid or semi-solid colorways. Variegated colorways are not recommended.
