Canopy Cowl is the lil sister to the Canopy sweater. It uses the same yarn and similar foliage colorwork motifs, but is less of a financial and time commitment than the sweater while being equally beautiful!

(By the way… if you purchase the pattern for the Canopy sweater, you will receive a copy of Canopy Cowl for free!)

Both Canopy patterns are a fall-inspired collaboration with the lovely Alisha of Sprigs and Stone. Shop at sprigsandstoneyarn.com!
