SAMPLER COWL
………………………….

The Studio Donegal Soft Chunky Collection is built around the idea of simple textured motifs that echo the local landscape. The considered use and repetition of these motifs is what ties together the garment and accessory patterns.

And the perfect way to get a sense of this, is to start with the Sampler Cowl… which doubles as a wearable swatch!

Alternating between double rib, broken rib, garter stitch and double moss stitch, the Sampler 
Cowl introduces a variety of themes used throughout the Soft Chunky collection, whilst 
enabling you to create a beautifully textured accessory.

Note: This pattern is not available for sale individually, but is included in the Studio Donegal Soft Chunky Collection.
