This pattern was originally released as the February pattern for the Twisted Cowl Club.

This is one of my very favorite handknits ever. Every lace-weight yarn I see calls out to become one. I need one in every color, because right now I plan outfits around my Mesh Leaf Cowl - no joke. It’s easy, intuitive, comfortable, soft, and beautiful.
