KNIT YOUR LOTUS

Lotus Path Cowl is designed for comfort and style.
It is the perfect accessory to knit and wear during the transitional seasons. It is both modern and functional.
The colorwork uses only 2 colors making it fun yet challenging for those experimenting with stranded knitting.

The ancient Lotus flower symbolizes our path to enlightenment. It has the power of growing into something beautiful out of muddy waters.
The lower half of the design represents our knitting community holding hands and coming together. Followed is the upward facing arrows which is the direction we are all moving on this path to enlightenment or knowledge. The lotus flower is the culmination of all our labor which also looks like an eagle or bird ascending. In closing, the downward facing arrows represent spiritual energy descending upon us as we take this journey. This is the Lotus path where we all come together, inspire one another and encourage each other to be our best self.
