Alluvial Cowl
To celebrate its release, this pattern is half off through March 15th. Use discount code AlluvialFan to redeem.
Alluvial is a cowl made out of bulky yarn and knits up fast. It is knit in the round and uses short rows to giving it a shape reminiscent of an alluvial fan, making it longer in front and shorter in back. It features a relatively simple lace pattern that grows and expands to further accentuate the half-circle shape.

Alluvial fans are deposits of sediment from streams, often occurring during flooding. They occur at the boundary of two terrain types, such as a mountain canyon emerging on a flat valley, which causes the sediment to spread out from the apex. The resulting fan is beautiful and a testament to the power of nature to transform the landscape and redistribute nutrients in the ecosystem.
