Blossom & Vine is a celebrate of spring! In the dreary dregs of winter, I dream of the cherry blossoms of spring and love cosy knits to keep me warm. In the summer, I love small projects that won’t overheat my lap and happy colors to celebrate the sunshine that I missed all those months!

This quick and easy cowl in an Aran-weight yarn features lace panels with soaring V’s and creeping vines. With every other round in knit stitch, it’s incredibly fast to work up and you’ll memorize the relaxing 8-round repeat in no time. With three available lengths and instructions available in both chart and written format, there’s something for everyone!
