Mendia Cowl
Embrace the cozy warmth of Mendia, a beautifully designed cowl that’s perfect for snuggling into during chilly days. This versatile pattern invites you to take just 2 skeins of squishy yarn and create a stylish accessory that can be worn as is or effortlessly folded in half for a different look. Perfect for both everyday wear and special occasions, Mendia is not only a delightful addition to your wardrobe but also a thoughtful gift for loved ones.
Mendia showcases a charming eyelet edging, gracefully transitioning into twisted ribbing that flows into an engaging twisted eyelet chevron pattern. The design is reminiscent of a mountain range, which is fitting considering the name Mendia comes from Basque origin, meaning “mountain.” This makes it an ideal choice for nature enthusiasts and those who appreciate outdoor aesthetics.
