Snow Leopard Cowl

Snow Leopard Cowl

$6.00

by Meli Alness

The snow leopard is perhaps the most alluring creature native to the northern Himalayas that traverse the Tibetan Plateau. I have been eager to design a pattern showcasing their high-contrast coats since I became co-owner of Reywa Fibers four years ago, and I am delighted with the final result! This cowl is knit in the round, using stranded colorwork. The two ends are grafted together (the cast-on border is 2 rnds of MC) and finished off with duplicate stitches in CC to unite the cowl in a seamless leopard-spot design. Complete the look with my Snow Leopard Mitts for a fun and fetching fair isle set!
