Alcañiz Cowl

£3.50

A bouncy, softly cabled cowl that is wonderful to wear.

Pattern Inspiration

A little bouldering spot in Eastern Spain once gave us refuge from the aftermath of an incredible storm at home in Portugal. The pretty cable motif symbolises the intense driving rain and the finished cowl offers warmth and protection.
