Reebou Cowl
“Wrap yourself in a rainbow, one stitch at a time.”

There’s something quietly magical about watching colour unfold through your hands — each hue a promise, each row a heartbeat. The Reebou Cowl is a love letter to hope, warmth, and the gentle joy that lives in handmade things.
Soft, rhythmic, and soothing to knit, this design lets every shade sing while your stitches flow in peaceful repetition. The simple shaping allows the colours to take centre stage, creating a timeless piece that feels both joyful and calm.

Worked seamlessly in the round with smooth transitions between shades, the Reebou Cowl makes the perfect mindful knit — and pairs beautifully with the matching Reebou Mitts.

Perfect for mini skeins, leftover yarns, or a carefully chosen fade, it’s a project that feels like a quiet afternoon and a warm hug all at once.

Knit your rainbow. Wear your joy. Share your light.
