Moraga Cowl Kit

The Moraga Cowl is inspired by Moraga Street, one of the most inspiring streets for artists in San Francisco. The top of the street is home to the famous Moraga Steps, a tall set of stairs intricately decorated with mosaic tiles depicting the city’s natural wild life. The end of the road meets Ocean Beach, where local street artists use the sea wall as a canvas for their tags and original murals. The swirling colors of the Moraga Cowl are reminiscent of the murals found at either end of Moraga Street. Construction notes: knit with one strand of Malabrigo Sock and another of Malabrigo Silkpaca held together, the Moraga Cowl first starts like a traditional triangular shawl with a garter tab CO. After a few repeats of a simple lace and garter pattern, the cowl is joined in the round. The pattern comes with video and photo instructions for this joining section. The natural point of the cowl is maintained in the round until all stitches are bound off. SKILL LEVEL: Adventurous beginner/intermediate SIZES: One size.
