Sea Stacks Cowl

The stitch pattern in this cowl reminded me of the sea stacks, geological landforms near coastlines, formed by wave erosion. In February 2022, the famous Flowerpot Rock in Bay of Fundy (New Brunswick) collapsed during a winter storm. This cowl was designed to celebrate these ephemeral formations.

Pattern is 5 pages.
