Leopard is a snug cowl, knit with 2-colour stranded colourwork to recreate the beautiful rosettes of this big cat.
A strong and opportunistic hunter, leopards are part of the genus Panthera, just like tigers.
With 2 standard sizes designed for DK weight yarn and full instructions for creating a custom size using any weight yarn, Leopard is as versatile as it is roarsome.
Note: Leopard is wonderful for keeping your neck and face warm, but it is not suitable for use as a face covering to prevent the spread of disease. Please wear a mask!
