New Pattern Rory's Study Cowlette

I've got a new pattern out today, and I'm super excited about it (but I'm usually excited about this things, aren't I? I tend to design things that I like and that motivate me to knit, and I hope they do the same for you).
This one is unique because it is inspired by the Gilmore Girls, and as such, it can be worn one way for "Lorelai" and another way for "Rory"

This one uses 1 pack of Perspectives Crazyfoot from Mountains of Color Yarn in the Brights color, and is knit from the top-down, seamlessly. For Lorelai, it makes a cozy cowlette (cowl/shawl hybrid) and for your Rory, it makes an adorable caplet. It is knit in a fun texture stitch, an easy mesh pattern, and then it finished off with repeats of a leaf lace pattern, and a colorful picot edging. 

Here are the pattern details:

A Gilmore Girl at heart, this color pack reminded me of so many fun themes from one of my favorite shows of all time. First off, it takes it’s name from Rory’s special tree that she finds as her “study” spot. Second, I love the bond between mother and daughter. It wouldn’t surprise me if they raided each other’s closets, so I needed a piece that could be versatile. On an adult, or teen, this makes a trendy and chic cowlette (a stylish hybrid shawl/cowl) and on a mini-me, it makes an adorable capelet, perfect for all their fairytale adventures.
