Magic Gates Cowl was inspired by the beautiful antique gates leading to hidden gardens on the Point Section of Newport RI. The Point has the largest collection of colonial houses in the USA. It is a beautiful walk with fantastic architectural details on display. In June, there is a Secret Garden Tour in the area.

Magic Gates Cowl was designed for fall and winter season, especially for gift giving. The cowl takes approximately 10 hours to knit. It is unisex and suitable for dress or leisure wear.

The pattern has been test knit by Ordie, Rezo and LauenW13. Thank you!
