While it is relatively easy to recognize the perennial grasses and seed-eating sparrows as characteristic of meadows, the ecosystems exist in their fullest sense underground. What we see above ground is only the outer margin of an ecosystem that explodes in intricacy and life below.”
― Amy Seidl, Early Spring: An Ecologist and Her Children Wake to a Warming World

This is a pattern for a cowl worked in the round and using the stranded knitting technique.

Stitches are provisionally cast-on and joined to work a tube, which is then grafted together.
