The Keats cowl is worked from the top downwards. It is first worked in the round in simple ribbing and then in the cable and lattice pattern. At the end the front and the back are separated and worked flat separately in pieces. The cable pattern is easy-to-memorize with cables that create an origami-like appearance.

The Keats cowl and the matching Keats hat were designed in collaboration with Olann.
