The Fergus Cowl is designed around Fergus Claudel Fraser, one of Diana Gabaldon’s characters from the Outlander Series. A young stylish Frenchman, Fergus is fiercely loyal to Jamie and Claire, loves his wife and children, but struggles with his demons, represented by the green flecks of color trying to come through the dark background. This Tunisian crochet kerchief cowl is made with two skeins of sport weight yarn, as pictured, Honey Girl Farms Honey Sport in colors Astro Black and Granny Smith.

This pattern can be purchased separately or as part of an eBook, Tunisian Crochet COllar-shaWLS.
