Monsoon Season Cowl

The Monsoon Season Cowl was inspired by the wonderful yarn purchased from Ishrat of Fruitful Fusion. The cowl uses a skein of fingering yarn and a skein of Suri alpaca. The two different bases work perfectly together in the same variegated colour way to produce a beautifully subtle drapey fabric. The pattern combines corrugated rib and a modified peacock lace. It is initially worked flat and then in the round to produce a seamless item.
