Ellmoril

Millions of years ago, geologic processes shaped the Earth’s crust, forming folds and pushing up mountains. Erosion and water remodeled stone and land, removing and depositing matter here and there. The Rocks of Morillon in the French Jura mountains, with their vertical layers, are the amazing remains of an eroded anticline, an arch-like geologic fold. The Ellmoril cowl is inspired by this tilted bedrock now reclaimed by vegetation. Ellmoril is a wordplay on Morillon and Lemme, the river that flows nearby. The cowl combines organic lace and vertical twisted stitch patterns reminiscent of leaves, winding streams and tilted rock layers. Ellmoril has asymmetric edgings with peaks and scallops like Morillon’s rocky outcrops and undulating valleys. Join us for this geologic journey through rock and valley!

Suggestions are given to customize the pattern. Charts and written instructions are provided as well as clear video tutorials for the used stitches.
