The Quercus Cowl is an ode to the various stately native oaks that grace the landscape of the southern Santa Clara Valley. Relief stitches and eyelets evoke leaves, acorns, and bright sunlight peeking through.

A quick project and ideal for gift-making, the cowl is worked top-down in joined, unturned rounds and flares out to a decorative, openwork finish at the collarbone.

This pattern uses U.S. crochet terminology.
