WanderKnit - Morocco Kits

Tadia Cowl - 

Inspired by the fluid and mesmerizing Moroccan Ogee pattern, this intricate, geometric shape has history all the way back to ancient Persia and the Tomb of Cyrus the Great (approx. 500 BCE). The cowl colors reflect Morocco’s Blue City, Chefchaouen, nicknamed “the blue pearl of Morocco.”

Knit in the round, finished with the Kitchener stitch, this cowl is stunning and deliciously soft and cozy, knit with HiKoo® Madrona.
