Shipping calculated at checkout.

The Vandiver Cowl and Hat kit draws inspiration from the geometric triangles and vibrant colors of a quilt. Featuring color blocks of two contrasting shades, the half-square triangles are rotated and reflected to create a playful twist on the classic “flying geese” pattern. Using six colors, you can either complement or contrast them to achieve a shadow striping effect. The cowl is knitted in a tube and seamed together, this cozy neck warmer not only showcases stunning stranded color work but also cleverly hides the floats within the cowl.
