Description
The Pacific Grove Cowl is a tribute to the charming Monarch butterflies of Pacific Grove, California. The stitch pattern evokes the gentle flutter of butterfly wings and reflects the rough surface of a salt lick, a crucial element in the butterflies' habittat. Finished with elegant lace edging, the cowl is knit flat in one piece and joined with a mattress stitch for a sleek, refined look. The pattern comes with detailed charts, written instructions, and diagrams for an engaging and fulfilling knitting experience.
This stylish accessory is created with the luxurious Road to China Light. This sport-weight yarn, a sumptuous blend of baby alpaca, camel hair, cashmere, and silk, creates a fabric that is irresistibly soft with a delicate halo. It perfectly captures the essence of the cowl, bringing out the subtlety of the lace and textures, much like the ethereal beauty of the Monarch butterflies that grace Pacific Grove.
