Faileas by Sierra Morningstar

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

Faileas combines simple colorwork and texture in this richly patterned cowl in lofty wool and alpaca worsted weight, Owl. Worked in the round as a long tube, the beginning and end are grafted together to form a cowl. We love the natural, woodsy palette of bog and sokoke but you might consider the warmth of cinnamon with abyssinian, an ocean blue palette like cerulean and cielo, or a neutral pair like papuan and albertine.
