I was inspired to design this cowl and cuffs set by the beautiful Sakura yarn that Knitted Wit dyed as a fundraiser for Japan disaster relief. Sakura is Japanese for cherry blossom, and Hanami is the name given to the spring cherry blossom viewing parties.

These items are knit in the round.

This pattern will also be available through the Knit Picks Independent Designer Program for $3.99.
