The Farewell Cowl
“I weep for Adonais – he is dead!”
Percy B. Shelley, Adonais, 1821.
Adonais, the beautiful poetic work of Percy B. Shelley, and moments of loss, are the inspiration for The Farewell Cowl. A simple and rhythmic design pairs a lace stitch pattern from Nineteenth Century with garter stitch bands offering moments of peace in times of need to the troubled soul. Instructions are given for a small one loop cowl and a long double loop cowl.
