Crow's Foot Cowl

About this Design: There is a rock found in The Burren, Ireland with a branching pattern created by erosion from rainfall. The fissures remind me of the mark a bird's foot makes in the sand. The stitch pattern used in this cowl also reminds me of a bird's foot and so I decided to call this the "Crow's Foot Cowl."

This pattern can also be purchased as part of the Northern Landscapes, part 1 eBook.
