INSPIRATION
Classic, chic Herringbone is always in, and worked in smooshy luxurious cashmere makes it your to go accessory this fall season - it will blend seamlessly with both casual and dressy clothes!
Pinus is a Latin name for pine, the motif reminded me of pine trees (to which I owe my health) so I had to honor them!

This cowl uses a mosaic technique with only one color worked per round to achieve a colorwork look without the fuss of floats.

I know I am a bit biased, but if you are looking for a special project for your cashmere this fall season, this is it!

The pattern is both written and charted.
