DESCRIPTION

The Aurora Cowl was inspired by the mesmerizing dance of the northern lights — glowing, shifting, and sweeping across the night sky. The cowl is knit in the round as a simple circular tube, then seamed together to form a smooth, continuous loop. The colorwork is worked from an easy-to-follow chart, with each repeat using two contrasting colors to create the radiant, shifting effect that echoes the aurora itself.
