I originally released this pattern in 2009 and I am thrilled so many people have enjoyed knitting the Growing Leaves cowl! The Growing Leaves pattern is fun to knit as there’s something to do on every row – a rarity when knitting lace. The Growing Leaves cowl is meant to fit close so you can tuck it into your jacket collar on chilly days. The cowl knits up quickly with one skein and makes a wonderful gift. Pattern includes variations for using other yarn weights.
