The Cloudberry cowl is inspired by the flowers of Norwegian cloudberries (molter in Norwegian) which grow in the Arctic Circle. It is knitted in the round, featuring a small stranded colour work flower pattern on the outside and a striped pattern on the inside.

If you are new to stranded colour work (Fair Isle knitting) or would like to improve your techniques, then I recommend my Scandinavian Stranded Colour Work & Steeking Online Course.

The Cloudberry Cowl is worn with the Trenance sweater which can be found in my Payhip Pattern Shop and Ravelry Pattern Shop.
