“I weep for Adonais – he is dead!”
Percy B. Shelley, Adonais, 1821

Adonais, the beautiful poetic work of Percy B. Shelley, and moments of loss, are the inspiration for The Farewell Cowl.
A simple and rhythmic design pairs a lace stitch pattern from Nineteenth Century with garter stitch bands offering moments of peace in times of need to the troubled soul. Instructions are given for a small single loop cowl and a long double loop cowl.
