When I turned 21, my friends and I went to the Signature Lounge on the 96th floor of the Hancock building in downtown Chicago. The floor-to-ceiling windows revealed a panoramic cityscape, from the lake to the skyscrapers to the not-so-distant trees in the surrounding suburbs. Panoramic reminds the knitter of the swift change from cities to seas...

Divisadero can be knit in any fingering weight yarn you’d like, but I clearly have an obsession with anything Tosh. Substitute DK or worsted yarn for a toastier cowl.
