The Alexandra Cowl is part of a matching Hat and Cowl set inspired by an amazing woman currently battling Hodgkin’s Lymphoma: Alexandra

The double sided cowl is knitted in three sections, stranding flat, stranding in the round, and ending with another stranding flat section. Knitting on the bias adds another point of interest in addition to the motifs inspired from cross stitch patterns from the 1660’s.
