The Sycamore cowl is knitted with a single brand new skein of Eight spot in the Garden color way, as shown here. Eight exciting yarn changes in total but only two ends to weave in. Love that. The cowl is knitted in the round from the bottom up with a lovely, yet simple lace pattern. Two borders done with a one by one rib pattern that makes the knit stitches pop just a bit more, frame the lace .... Some photos show the Sycamore worn over another cowl, the Dockery.
