Inspired by the angular wing of the Tasmanian Swift Parrot, this cowl features a Wingspan lace pattern and a curved bird’s wing lapel to create a V-Neck opening. Lathamus is the Latin name for the critically endangered Swift Parrot and the flashes of red, purple, yellow and blue in the green of the “Swift Parrot” colourway in Circus Tonic Revelry Sock works beautifully with this pattern.

The cowl is worked length wise with a moss stitch border and buttons for closure for versatility of styling. Use your luxurious fingering weight single skeins in solid, semi-solid or tonal colours to let the lace pattern shine.
