Helpful Notes
The cowl for this pattern requires no shaping, and is a large rectangle based on a lace pattern of 12 repeating rows. The first six and last six stitches of the cowl pattern are the edge stitches, and are knit in garter stitch with an eyelet placed on every fourth row.
The leaves are knit separately and require blocking.
