Pelagia is a neckwear design featuring a double fish motif surrounded by a lattice of diamond and dots. Make a cowl to wear snug around the neck, or a luxuriously long scarf with a steeked fringe. Knit with Brooklyn Tweed’s incredibly soft, yet springy and warm worsted weight Imbue, this will be your go-to fall and winter accessory.

Pair it with its sister hat pattern, Piscine, for a complete set with matching or complimentary colors!

BUNDLE DISCOUNT: Buy both Piscine and Pelagia patterns and save $1 off each for a total savings of $2!*
