DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
Soulmate is a cool, rustic cowl with a hood. It features a split
high neck and plush cables. The Viking inspired shape emphasizes the shoulders and keeps your chest warm where your jacket or coat will often be open.

The cowl itself is worked top-down in one piece. Then stitches
are picked up for the hood, which is finished off with a casing
for the I-cord drawstring.
