Whatever you’d planned for the year 2020, it’s safe to assume that the Covid-19 pandemic trampled all over your plans. So here’s the experience in fibrous form. The covid virus is shown scattered all over an otherwise fairly traditional Fair Isle cowl.

The cowl is worked in the round using stranded knitting and once complete, the points of each covid motif are accentuated in orange yarn using Swiss darning (duplicate stitch).
