New Pattern Release – DAWSONIA

My newest pattern was released today!  DAWSONIA is knit in the round from end to end, and this bulky cowl has alternating panels of squishy texture and stripes. The design was inspired by the beautiful green moss and light coming through tree branches in the forests of British Columbia. Warm, textured, and enjoyable to knit, DAWSONIA will keep you warm and inspired on your travels.

As with all of my patterns, DAWSONIA has been tech edited by Nicola Hodges (@tinyislandtextiles) and thoroughly tested.  Test knitters report that the pattern is engaging and enjoyable.  I recommend you know how to use the kitchener stitch and provisionally cast on when starting your cowl.
