Alba Cowl - PDF Knitting Pattern

Alba is the Scottish Gaelic word for Scotland. Scotland is home to the beautiful (and dangerous) thistle, crisp autumn mornings, and jewel-toned sunrises and sunsets.

This cowl combines the beauty of all of Scotland’s treasures into a unique slipped-stitch design, almost looking like a field of thistles when completed.

So grab your yarn and your needles, and cast on your cowl. Enjoy your Scottish adventure! Happy Knitting!
