• When our children were small we used to play a game with them at bedtime to keep the scary monsters away! We used to blow 1000 kisses into the air and get them to catch them in their hands then pop them under their pillows to give them reassuring kisses if they needed them during the night. Smooriken is Shetland dialect for a kiss and this cowl has been covered in love and kisses to reflect this! It has been designed to match my Smooriken mittens and Smooriken Beanie and Tam patterns and my Smooriken Cardigan is also based on this motif!
