The Golden Ginkgo Cowl is a DK-weight cowl with an intricate leaf lace border. This design is a cowl version of the Golden Ginkgo Shawl and the Autumn Gold Shawl.

This cowl is inspired by and named after the ageless Ginkgo whose leaves turn golden yellow during fall.

The leaf lace works up beautifully in solid, tonal, gradient, or mildly variegated yarns. The pattern is ideal for lace enthusiasts and adventurous knitters who want to try lace knitting. The pattern is both written and charted.
