Knitting: Cowl
When designing this cowl, I wanted to capture the organic look and feel of flowers on the vine - so I avoided more traditional geometric colorwork motifs (other than the border) and worked with elements that would be more unpredictable, but create a more “natural” look. This was a challenge to do in worsted weight yarn - fewer stitches to play ...
