I have long been a lover of trees and the beauty they bring to the world. This cowl is to celebrate the charming beauty of the forest and the way it calls to us, and the wildlife within it, to stay just a little while longer.
The tree motifs are framed by a design that hints at the silhouette of the forest against the sky. The center panel mimics the way the light shines through the trees, and the enchanting way the sky looks behind their darkened silhouettes.
I hope this knit brings a little charm to you as you work.
Happy knitting!
