Clovelly is a simple garter and lace cowl featuring a pretty 16 round repeat. I chose this stitch pattern as it reminded me of a series of cheery interlocking rainbows, and I named it after the picturesque fishing village Clovelly in North Devon, which is beautiful even in the rain. The sample cowl is worked in the smaller size and can be worn doubled over or squished up. A longer version is also given that can be wrapped twice.
