The Shoal & Metton pattern by Quail Studio for Mode at Rowan is a modern accessory set combining a cosy snood with a simple, versatile beanie.
Shoal is a double-folded snood knitted seamlessly in the round, using Alpaca Haze yarn held double to create a soft, warm, and structured fabric. Metton is a classic beanie worked in stocking stitch, with the flexibility to knit either flat or in the round.
