This cowl features a traditional Scandinavian style colourwork pattern and includes instructions for Fingering/4ply and DK/8ply yarn weights.
It is funnel shaped for a better fit, and is a reversible design with colourwork on one side and stripes on the other.
The name Rollo is a nickname for Rovaniemi, which was my home town in Finnish Lapland for ten years.
The design was inspired by the colourwork pattern in Rovaniemi mittens.
