Frost Boils Cowl
About this Design: Experience the beauty and intricacies of nature with our "Frost Boils" knitting pattern, inspired by the sorted circles created during the soil heaving process influenced by freezing and thawing cycles. These unique features form as larger particles rise to the surface and migrate outward, culminating in stunning circles adorned with a border of stones encircling a center of finer material. Perfect for knitters looking to connect with the wonders of natural phenomena, this design encapsulates the elegance of limestone barrens.
