Named after the Eurasian Collared Dove, this cowl is knitted flat and seamed. I’ve held the lightly speckled Tosh Sock together with Shibui Silk Cloud for a lovely, soft fabric with halo. Combination is divine!
We’ve just moved to a new state and into our new home, to find the mama dove had made her nest! It’s been fun to watch the babes grow and a little sad to see them leave the nest.

The cowl can be styled like a triangle shawl, worn bandana style or to one shoulder. Bonus – it stays on! No fuss!
