Sauveuse des Anges Cowl

In October 2020, my knitting pattern, Sauveuse des Anges, was proudly published in *Outlander Knitting: The Official Book of 20 Knits Inspired by the Hit Series*. For those knitters seeking a delightful project that's somewhat smaller yet possesses that distinct "Je ne sais quoi," I present to you this elegant cowl.
