Personally, I love the sort of big, sturdy cowl that you can basically disappear in, and I also love colorwork and stripes, so I threw all those elements into the pot together, and out came this fun design.

The soft, slightly tweedy, always elegant Candide created fabric ideal for those of us who love a breathable layer for mild days on the coast.
