Lost in the Leaves

Lost in the Leaves was designed for the 2025 Minnesota Yarn Shop. The theme was In the Garden, and The Yarnery chose the Como Park Conservatory as its inspiration. The bandana-style cowl celebrates the framework of the Como Park Conservatory, and the structure of leaves themselves. The yarn used was custom-dyed for The Yarnery; any 2 contrasting skeins of fingering-weight yarn will work beautifully for the project. The yarn used here is a single-ply, superwash merino wool. **MATERIALS** Single Ply SW Merino Fingering by Purls & Pines (393 yds per 100 g skein): 1 skein each of 2 colors; C1: Sunken Garden; C2: Latticework Size D (3.25mm) Crochet Hook Locking stitch markers **FINISHED DIMENSIONS** 25" circumference at neck, 44" circumference at widest point, 20" front length, 12" back length **GAUGE** 20 sts and 10 rows = 4" in main stitch pattern (one hdc round, one dc-3lo round) repeated
