Morning Frost Cowl

The combination of this subtle colour and the softness of mohair evokes the sense of calm that cool, crisp mornings can bring. Those mornings in which you can simply soak in the beauty as the sun reflects off the fresh, pristine layer of frost in the stillness of the early morning hours. Wrap yourself in the dreamy warmth of this cowl and you’re all set to step outside to witness the beauty.

Morning Frost Cowl is a relaxing knit with one simple pattern repeat that decreases toward the neck edge. The cowl is knit in the round, from the bottom up and is finished with a hem on both edges, giving it a clean and soft line.
