When most people think of Canadian resources, it is our natural resources that first come to mind. However with over 70% of our GDP coming from the service sector, it can be argued that our country’s competitive advantage comes from the people of Canada.

This fully reversible cowl celebrates Canadian makers. It is created by a Canadian designer, knit in yarn from a Canadian dyer and edited by a Canadian.

The Canadian Resources Cowl is knit from 2 colours of fingering weight yarn and uses a reversible slipped stitch technique. Increases and decreases in the fabric create the tree motif and beautifully shaped edges. No cabling is needed.

This pattern is adjustable in circumference and height and can be worked in various thicknesses of yarns.
