I’ve been thinking a lot about gratitude recently and as part of that I’m starting a new Gratitude Program. I’m offering a free pattern of your choice for every $25 spent on my Ravelry patterns. Past purchases on Ravelry definitely apply! I wrote a blog post explaining the program here . Happy knitting!

ABOUT THE PATTERN
The simple texture of the Daphne cowl mimics the delicate yet sophisticated bark of a laurel tree. In Greek mythology, Daphne’s father turns her into a laurel tree to save her from Apollo. I originally named this cowl after Groot since the texture reminded me of my favorite houseplant-slash-muscle from the Guardians of the Galaxy.
