Hinoki Cowl
Hinoki Cowl is a crochet cowl using heavy yarns with minimalist double sided rib pattern. Perfect for the gift season!
The name ”Hinoki” essentially means "the wood of fire" or "the wood of sun" in Japanese, depicting its use for building fires as well as its sacred role in East Asian culture. In Taiwan this word is still spoken in tongues due to historical connection.
