Tree-covered rolling hills as far as the eye can see… From our high vantage point, standing on a mighty rock formation, a multitude of shades of green greet us from afar. The water down below has carved the hillsides, century after century. As we descend the hills and reach the river, the small path winds between the trees. Conifers alternate with deciduous species. Here and there, a honeysuckle proudly climbs up to reach the sky.
The Woodscape cowl is an ode to those woods, wilderness, and leaves floating in the wind. The cowl combines a wide lacy stitch pattern reminiscent of leaves and vines. Join us on this woody hike and wrap yourself in leafy elegance!

For best effect, use a round yarn with good stitch definition. Yarn weights ranging from fingering to DK would be suitable. As for colorways, I would recommend solid, semi-solid, speckled, or gradient (single skein or gradient set) yarns.

The original yarn used in this pattern might be hard to come by. I recommend looking at this Ravelry search to find an equivalent with the same fiber content (and also: have a look at what my test knitters have used): https://www.ravelry.com/yarns/search#weight=fingering&amp...
