Greenery Cowl

This richly textured cowl features elegant leaves, crisp half-twisted ribbing, and contrasting seed stitch. The leafy motifs combine the occasional cluster stitch, two-stitch cables, and simple lace, but in any round you will only need to use one of these techniques so it’s simpler than it sounds. To complete the set, the companion patterns Greenery Hat and Greenery Mitts will be available soon.
