Inspired by seafaring culture, our Storm Cast Cowl is designed for entry-level knitters. The double length cowl is textured by a wave stitch pattern that works across the knitting from edge to edge and reflects the ebb and flow of the tides and storm cast waves.

As islanders the sea is a large part of our lives at Birlinn Yarn, even our Hebridean sheep are seafaring. Thus the Scandinavian purity and pared back aesthetic of this pattern reflects this cultural context and the strong, constant rhythm of the tides and waves breaking on our Hebridean
shores.

The Storm Cast Cowl buttons are supplied as part of the pattern kit. They are designed by Birlinn Yarn and made from sustainably sourced oak. Their pattern is distinctly Scandinavian, resonating with the Norse cultural heritage of these islands and our sheep.
