Designed especially for a custom Mother’s Day bouquet from Jimmy Beans Wool, this accessory can be soft or bold depending on your color choices. Take it back to the Lisa Frank 80’s with the Brights option, or enjoy soft and soothing color changes in the Pastels choice.

The name “Growth Rings” was inspired by the stripes in this cowl, and also ties into family trees. This cowl is knit in the round with 9 different colors of fingering weight yarn. The stitch pattern is both written and charted.
