We used to live in Rue des Cerisiers, Cherry Tree Street. And there were cherry tree scattered around the nearby fields.

Ciliegio is the Italian word for cherry tree.

Ciliegio is a cowl knit in the round featuring 2 different leaning decreases and 2 big increases, all in brioche knitting.
This pattern is not going to teach you to brioche knit.
