PATTERN INFORMATION
Beat the winter gloom by wrapping yourself in a reversible, leaf-patterned cowl made in soft yarn in your favourite colour. (I made mine using Malabrigo Sock in Turner colourway.)
Winter Leaves is worked sideways and the ends are grafted together - a photo tutorial showing how to graft in pattern is included. Depending on how long you like your cowls, you can either follow the pattern without modifications and make a long cowl that can be wrapped around the neck twice, or make it shorter, using only one skein of yarn.
