The chevron pattern of this cowl evokes the high mountain peaks of the Tibetan Plateau. The bold and bright colors of our Tibetan Cashmere are reminiscent of the colors of the lungta – little prayer flags you can find anywhere on the Plateau. Once the piece is joined together, it almost looks like a mandala , the spiritual and geometric symbol that is utilized to help people focus in on meditation and achieve a sense of oneness with the universe.

This pattern is good for all levels and designed with beginners in mind.

A huge thank you to Aimee DeBaun for her help in developing our in house designs.

If you wish to buy a yarn bundle for this or other designs we have created, please visit our website at www.myak.it under Patterns. We have created different color combo for each design.
