The Spring Blooms Bandana Cowl

It’s spring once again. To me, spring is a symbol of resilience. Winter can be harsh, mean, and sometimes, downright nasty. But no matter what winter has thrown at us, I always see life in the spring.
Often that first sign of life is the tulip. The ground will still be cold, nearly frozen. There will still be piles of snow in the garden, but the tulips will still make their debut. I admire their resilience, which is why I created this pattern for them. Perhaps one day, I will be as resilient as the tulip.

This pattern includes tutorials for my variations of the puff stitch, as well as the picot and 3rd LO stitches.
