Frozen Paths

Designed for our 2025 Holiday Project Box, *Frozen Paths* is a simple and cosy cowl designed to highlight our new speckled collection, [Metropolis][1]. It is worked in the round and finished by grafting the tube closed to the cast-on edge, creating a warm, double-layered cowl. Using simple stranded colourwork, two strands of fluffy lace-weight yarn are held together and alternated with an elegant bias stockinette column in a contrasting solid colour of DK yarn. The result is a soft, textured fabric with beautiful depth. A fun and approachable project for a snug, stylish cowl. [Looking for yarn inspiration?
