Alpaxsis

Alpaxsis starts as a sweet little möbius cowl and then morphs into a traditional cowl construction. Alpaxsis has a simple reversible lace pattern with optional bead accents and bind offs!
Alpaxsis is surprisingly versatile: it can be worn as  a snood, as a shrug, or as an infinity scarf….
