ABOUT THE PATTERN
The simple texture of the Daphne cowl mimics the delicate yet sophisticated bark of a laurel tree. In Greek mythology, Daphne’s father turns her into a laurel tree to save her from Apollo. I originally named this cowl after Groot since the texture reminded me of my favorite houseplant-slash-muscle from the Guardians of the Galaxy.
