Toplina Hooded Cowl

Job type Test knit
Description

Toplina is a hooded cowl incorporating brioche, lacy cables, and a rounded hood.

Designed for warmth on even the coldest and windiest days, a necessity for my life here in Minnesota. But also designed to be a statement piece of art that you eagerly reach for before heading out on a cold day regardless of the errand or outing planned.

Very few expectations for this.

Rewards from the designer

Free copy of the finished pattern. 

As this is my first pattern, I don't have anything more I can provide, nor do I have any sort of social media presence. I have very few requirements at this time so all I can reasonably provide is just the free copy of the finished pattern.
