The Oregano Cowl symbolizes bringing happiness & joy into your life. It encourages you to enjoy the little moments in life & making the most from them. We can become so busy worrying about checking off our to-do’s that we often miss out on the beautiful small joyful moments that surround us everyday. But the great thing about knitting is that it requires you to think about each stitch taken and as you do you are reminded to slow down and enjoy the moment.

The cowl is worked in the round and features a bud-like slipped stitch pattern and lace. The Oregano Cowl is knit in the same white and green yarn as the Oregano Hat so the two pair beautifully together. Knit up this quick lacy hat in a bulky weight yarn. Then wear it to bring rejuvenation and energy to your life.

The pattern is available as part of the ebook collection Herbed: The Seasonings Of Life. This collection is for the knitter who appreciates the seasons of her life and wants to knit designs with meaning. The knitwear in this collection will remind you to: live life bravely, embrace happiness, marvel at the remarkable, appreciate wisdom & learning, be hospitable, & enjoy the affection of loved ones.
