Serrulata Cowl

This pretty cowl in two sizes (S/L) makes beautiful use of a motif inspired by weeping cherry trees in bloom, with trailing branches filled with buds and new leaves. The highly embossed stitchwork makes for strong depth and stability, even in the silkiest of yarns. The somewhat complex pattern is made easier by working in the round, on the right side of the fabric; short row shaping adds some extra drape at the center front. Gorgeous in a smooth luxury blend, this design translates nicely for cool weather in a rustic wool blend as well.
