The February installment of the Craft and Cocktails Club, in collaboration with String Theory Yarn Co. The pattern will be exclusive to club members until September 2016.

For this installment of the Cocktail Club, I’ve chosen a pair of cocktails that are delicious and easy to make at home: the Black Russian and the White Russian. The Russians Cowl design was inspired by Russian sailor jerseys, or telnyashkas. I own a few of these and recommend them for winter layering.

You can read more about telnyashkas here.

Like the telnyashka, The Russians Cowl is thick, striped, and weather-resistant. It uses warm, sheepy Peace Fleece for the exterior and Shibui Cima for the lining, so you’re warm AND comfortable. Wear it with your telnyaskha for maximum effect!
