The Fundred 100 cowl design is the sister pattern to “The Shorty 40” fingerless gloves. This cowl with a triangular tip matches the gloves in style and completes the set when adding the original beanie design by Espace Tricot called “The Great 88”.

Equally to its sister design, the cowl is worked with 3 yarns held together: a DK base to give it stability, a Mohair for some warmth and fluff, and a Sequin yarn to make it bling. The cowl is constructed top down until the desired height is reached at which point the triangular tip is added by working flat. Twisted ribbing at the top and bottom of the cowl gives it a clean finish. The body features plain stockinette which spotlights the sequin yarn perfectly. An optional tassel attached to the tip gives the cowl the extra eye-catcher.
