Craigdarroch Cowl
$5.00
Craigdarroch Castle, Victoria's only castle, inspired us to create this beautiful cowl. With its stately architecture and decorative stone walls, we designed the cowl to feature the classic style and texture of traditional cables. The cable pattern may look intricate, but it is a simple repeat that is easy to work, even for those new to cablework.
Designed by Susan Baldock.
