“Oh no! The princess needs help. I must go to the forest and save her! Oh no! There are bears in the forest. I must go hunting first! Where are my bows and arrow?”
Little did I realize that eavesdropping on my daughter would lead me to create this enchanting hunting cowl. Ancient Greek mythology tells of a story about the young Artemis, daughter of Zeus and twin sister of Apollo, that she was a great and cunning huntress in the mountains and forests of Arcadia. She ended up falling madly in love with Orion, who became her hunting companion. The two spent careless hours by campfires, archery contests, and hunting with Orion’s faithful hounds, Canis Major and Canis Minor. Though their story ends tragically (Greek mythology remember), the tale of these two partners in crime lives on in sky at night.
The Artemis cowl fits a wide range of children’s sizes since the side ribbing is very forgiving. You can knit this up for a wee little one knowing that it will be quite a while before they outgrow it. Plus, it is a great quick cover up without the hassle of a sweater for any kid with a vivid imagination.
The cowl features plenty of design elements and truly has a little bit of everything. From easy garter stitch, to lace and cable patterns, some short row shaping, and two different options for finishing the hood, this fun hunting cowl will keep your eye on the bullseye!
Go check it out at my online store now! It's too cute ❤❤❤
