Did you know that the Pacific Northwest produces more than 90% of American hops? You can walk around Portland and see hops climbing trellises, fence posts, and even chimneys all over town. Our climate is made for both growing hops and wearing warm snuggly cowls like this one. Knit in the round in a colorwork pattern that mimics the lovely petals of the mature hop plant, it will keep you cozy on those misty autumn days.
