Do you love the idea of being tucked up in a secret hideaway as the world goes about its business outside? I certainly do. A shady bower, a tree house, a cave behind a waterfall, a forgotten garden bench…just you and a book and (of course) your current WIP (or three!).

Drape yourself in Willowfall and carry that secret spot with you through your day. Graceful branches tumble down from the top edge, sweeping around the cowl to create your own private curtain of leaves.

You begin at the bottom with mostly Stockinette. The leaf lace expands outward as the cowl grows until, by the time you reach the top border, it’s all lacy leaves. This lightweight, single-skein accessory will add a touch of practical elegance to your warmer-weather wardrobe.

Engaging to knit without being too difficult, Willowfall will have you saying “Just one more row…” again and again!
