INSPIRATION
Living right next to a protected creek has its advantages - every November I observe how the salmon comes to spawn to start the circle of life all over again:)

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

The pattern is both written and charted.
