Seafield Concho

NOW AVAILABLE IN GERMAN **Seafield Concho** is the second cowl in my **[Sea collection][4]** and is the result of a wonderful collaboration between myself and **[mYak Tibetan Fibers][5]**. It is a unisex textured cowl, knit in the round, using Gansey-inspired stitches from the Seafield sweater. This funnel-shaped cowl gives you extra warmth around the neck and shoulders, with its narrower top half keeping you snug as a bug! It’s a 2-in-1 design. Knit either the short cowl or continue knitting to produce a longer cowl/ short poncho - a “concho” – for wearing both over and under outerwear. This top-down design is knit using one of two very special yarns from mYak. Choose either the baby yak medium which is 100% Tibetan baby yak, or their Ra-Ku Fiocco Di Cashmere Medium which is 100% Tibetan cashmere. __________________________________ **EXPERIENCE LEVEL** Adventurous Beginner. **SIZES** **Cowl: One size** A: Circumference at top half: 58cm/ 23”.
