Under the Bough is a cowl/snood designed to wear on those days where you need a little something around your neck, but your average cowl, shawl, snood or scarf is just too heavy. Knitted in a lace weight yarn, with a leafy lace pattern repeat that covers 24 stitches and 12 rows, Under the Bough is lightweight, airy, and fits easily in your handbag, backpack, or even your pocket once the day has warmed up. The cute little leaf design can be worn pointing upwards, like shoots, or drooping downwards, like weeping branches.
