Alor was inspired by green spaces and cool breezes. This cowl features a short rib edge and Latvian Braid and either end, with a fun colorwork pattern in the middle. The pattern features a prominent tree motif on the front while the rest of the cowl is covered in many small leaf-like shapes. Using two colors of Old Soul Fiber Co’s Soul Tweed DK, it’s a quick, fun knit. Great for practicing colorwork and stash busting. Add some nature and color to any outfit, or knit it for a loved one this holiday season.
