Mother of Purl

Designed thoughtfully and meticulously by Mother of Purl, the King of Clubs cowl uses garter stitch and a straightforward two toned mosaic knitting pattern to create a half twisted cowl. Knit in our silk and wool blend Tern, this is a perfect pattern for adventurous beginners or seasoned knitters to play with some fun color work.

From the Designer:
The King of Wands ruled by double fire in the tarot is a testament to how we show up in the world as authentically ourselves. How we are true to our desires and how that leads others by example. The King of wands is a trailblazer, someone who moves in a way that is uniquely their own. When you wear this shawl, cowl, however you like it best, you are a walking reminder to always be true to yourself.
