Who doesn’t love leaves? And with the wonder of Spincycle Dyed in the Wool, Nocturne, or your own fabulous handspun, you can surround yourself in leaves of any color. I love the way Spincycle colors play out, making each leaf slightly different.

This cowl uses a provisional crochet cast-on, and is knit in the round to the desired length. The sample is 40 inches (101 cm.) long, but you can choose to make this 30- or 50-inches in length. The leaves in the pattern are slightly offset in each row to make them look like they are moving in the wind. Once the desired length is achieved, you will pick up stitches from the cast-on edge, twist them for the moebius, and Kitchener the two ends together. (I have included video tutorial links.)

The sample uses Spincycle Wilder (700 yards) for the background color, and Spincycle Dyed in the Wool (300 yards) for the leaves, but any sport weight yarns will work.

This is a great project for using up leftover bits of Spincycle or your own handspun, as the leaves can be many different colors.

You will need two circular needles, Size 5 (3.75 mm.) (or size to obtain gauge) in 16-inch length, a crochet hook for provisional cast-on, and a tapestry needle for the Kitchener.
