Alocasia Cowl

The Alocasia Cowl was inspired by one of my favorite houseplants Alocasia Polly. The plant boasts large dark green arrowhead shaped leaves with highly defined spines and veins in a lighter green. The small cowl features the unique leaf shape alternating in directions. Knit in the round in stranded knitting, its a fun, quick project perfect for using up leftover yarns. Knit up in Brooklyn Tweed’s Loft yarn the cowl has a rustic, woolly feel and slightly tweedy appearance. The Alocasia Cowl is the perfect accessory to bring a little houseplant joy to your wardrobe in the cooler months!
