“Vials filled with healing herbs and crushed flowers clink together in a leather pack. Carrying the pack is a chainmail-clad warrior who, by some sort of magic, leaves a trail of fluttering pink petals with each step. Their sword hilt glimmers in the sun and the sweet scent of roses and honey can be smelled on the air as they pass by.”
- Courtney of Apothecary Fiber Co, from the original Floral Knight colourway collection

The Floral Knight cowl is an easy moebius-style tube cowl that is easily adaptable into other yarn weights and neck accessory shapes! Using the same swords & floral motifs as my Floral Knight socks, the cowl begins with a provisional crochet cast-on, then knit in the round until you have your desired length and closed by grafting the live stitches to the provisional cast on.
