Have you ever marveled at water cascading from a fountain, with its ever-changing shape, color and sound? Streaming, bubbling, powerfully reaching for the sky, and trickling back down with grace. The Latone cowl is inspired by such images. The cowl is named after the Fountain of Latona (Latone in French) in the park of the Versailles castle, near Paris, France.

The Latone cowl pairs a wonderfully squishy and drapey Merino yarn with a gently arching lace pattern evocative of water flowing up and down. Waves form at the edges of the cowl, and the subtle texture and eyelets mean that the Latone cowl is reversible. Add some flair to your outfit with some stylishly flowing lace!
