You want to feel like you belong and are part of this symbiosis, metamorphosis, whatever you want to call it.
- Tom Waits
I want to give a nod to the importance and appreciation to all our wild gardens no matter how small. Wild gardens make big change in small places. They create a space for important species to keep spaces healthy for us, our children, grandchildren, or the current and future neighbour kids!
In the spirit of symbiosis and using what we have - jump into your stash for some worsted yarn.
This is a pattern for a cowl worked in the round, using the stranded knitting technique. You will provisionally CO sts, work the charts, and graft the final edge to the provisional CO, block, and you are ready for your next adventure!
You are welcome to use a variety of colours more than 9 or fewer, work in order as suggested or completely unique for you!
