Silvery blue-green leaves spill from a hanging basket and trail down, down, down, spreading to any patch of sun. The Cebu Blue Pothos is the rarest variety of this type of tropical houseplant, popular because of its difficulty to kill. I needed to brighten my home, to bring some warmth and life to my space. This trailing cowl in silvery blue-green, did the same for my wardrobe.

Cebu Blue is a bandana cowl split between simple stockinette and a trailing, leaf-like lace. Start at the point and work your way up to a beautifully tapered cowl that will keep you warm and stylish. The pattern is written for both fingering and DK weight versions so you can use your favorite yarn--stashed or coveted.
