On Discworld, on May 25th, members of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch wear a sprig of lilac to remember those who have fallen.
This is a loop cowl knitted in memory of Sir Terry Pratchett.
The pattern is free, but please consider donating to an Alzheimer’s disease charity.
My cowl, knitted in double knitting weight yarns, is approximately 6.5 inches deep and 30 inches in circumference.
If you choose a different weight yarn, this will affect the size and quantity of yarn needed.
I used 90g of the main colour, and less than 50g of each of 6 contrast colours.
