Forest Wreath uses my favorite two-color brioche leaf motif from the Under Dutch Skies shawl that I designed many years ago. This Under Dutch Skies leaf was the inspiration behind the popular Willow shawl from Knitting Fresh Brioche and is the inspiration behind this publication. I stole the name of this leaf from my knitting friend Alexandra Richards, www.underdutchskies.com

This cowl is worked in the round. By adding or taking out leaves you can easily alter the size of this cowl.

It uses two different colors of the Maiden Hair yarn. I used one skein of Peridot as light color and one skein of Cedar as dark color. My cowl weighs 110 grs.
