What does your crochet mean to you? Why do you do it? For me, when I think about crocheting, I think of combining different ideas and colors, kindship, and community. And that’s what Under The Kindah Tree is for me. The Kindah Tree is the site of a historic treaty signing of the Maroon people (Jamaica) with Britain. This cowl is my interpretation bringing ideas, colors, and techniques.

Under the Kindah Tree is a simple cowl that starts as a triangle shawl with easy contrast color eyelets. Then, the simple shawl converts into a cowl that is fun to wear and finishes with a lace edge.

PATTERN NOTES
Under The Kindah Tree starts as a top-down triangle shawl worked back and forth in rows. Once the wingspan is long enough to fit around the neck, the ends are joined to work in turned rounds.
When working the shawl sections, make increases at the center and both ends. When working the cowl section in rounds, increases are works only at the center.

When changing color, work current color to last pull through of yarn with old color. With new color, finish off st.

Additional information is provided throughout to help you to customize your cowl to fit you.
