Common in many parts of China, Osmanthus trees have delicate leaves and produce scores of tiny fragrant yellow flowers that make a delicious tea. This cozy cowl features an Osmanthus-inspired leafy motif in Infinite Twist’s Halo Shine yarn.

This pattern is worked in the round, and is best suited to the intermediate knitter due to some fairly complex increases and decreases. It can be helpful to place stitch markers to indicate mark the repeats of the leaf motif - it has a ten stitch repeat.
