Swan + Song
Swan + Song is a quiet homage to the legacy of Shibui Knits and Eisaku Noro. Richly colored mohair is held together with a next-to-skin soft sport-to-worsted weight yarn, creating an infinity cowl that is both rustic and refined.
This versatile pattern is written in two versions: Swan is a long loop cowl that pairs lace-weight mohair with a fingering/sport blend of cotton and silk, while Song is a short cowl that pairs a variegated lace-weight mohair with a worsted-weight merino. Ideal for pairing orphan skeins of luxury yarns, Swan + Song is an easy, elegant knit with endless possibilities.

Song (speckled cowl)
Dimensions: total loop circumference is approximately 2½ ft. around, 8” across. Single loop around the neck.
