Product Details
With its chocolate box cottages, medieval church and friendly pubs, Orford, on the Suffolk coast, is the quintessential English village. Fishing boats bring in daily catches, and visitors to the 12th Century castle mingle with birdwatchers heading to the national nature reserve at Orford Ness.
Just like its namesake, the Orford Cowl is romantic, bijou and full of beautiful details. The design combines lace with delicate twisted rib cables to produce a cowl that’s as interesting to knit as it is fun to wear.
This is the sister design to my popular Orford Shawl (pictured as a collage in the photos on this page), which is also available for instant download.
Designed for a fade set of 5 miniskeins, the Orford Cowl’s panel and ridge construction lends itself perfectly to playing with colour. A miniskein set of different colours would produce a colourblock cowl, or a single skein of fingering weight yarn would give a more classic look.
This pattern has been professionally tech edited.
