Camino Cielo, or Sky Road in Spanish, is the highest elevation road in Santa Barbara, California and, although quite rare, experiences a brief dusting of snow once every few years.

Camino Cielo Cowl captures the elusive beauty of glowing, snowy peaks against an inky black night sky.

Knit in the round, Camino Cielo begins with a corrugated rib, then a charted stranded knitting stockinette body, and back to a corrugated rib. Six colors are used in total with a maximum of two per row.
