LOLO ロロ(Japanese) – female first name
This cowl was named for the look of katakana symbols resembling the texture on this slip-stitch cowl design, a distant cousin of KOKO design patterns. The dimensional structured fabric of this cowl is shaped through a series of increases and progressively growing in size motifs, yet the density and elasticity of it allows you to easily adapt it to be worn as a snood or as a capelet. And with this versatile stitch pattern either side can be worn as a public side!
