Palm Oasis is inspired by the majestic palm trees at the water’s edge in Hawaii. As they blow gently in the breeze, they embody a sense of peace and strength that is reflected in the textured lace edges and the elegant cables running down the body.

Palm Oasis is a lightweight cowl worked bottom up and in the round. It begins with a provisional cast-on and is worked in a cable pattern. The top and bottom of the cowl is finished with lace trim.

The Palm Oasis cowl is inspired by The Palm Oasis shirt designed for Making Stories magazine.
