Vertex Cowl (Pattern PDF)

Please Note: This product is a PDF pattern, not a physical item.

With alternating sections of detailed colourwork, the Vertex Cowl utilises lines to form an interesting geometric design. Complex colourwork sections are followed by simpler sections with short repeats, resulting in a varied project that’s ideal for fans of stranded colourwork.
