In the late 1800s, Wharf Street was the centre of Victoria’s shipping industry. Today it’s home to iconic heritage buildings, restaurants, shops and stunning views of the inner harbour.

Inspired by Victoria’s nautical history, Wharf Street Cowl is a great project for knitters new to cablework with an easy-to-memorize pattern and classic cable motifs.
