Inspired by Estonian lace patterns and neighbours kitten.
It’s one size, but can be made shorter or longer.
Also could be knitted with DK yarns.

At the moment available only in Estonian (with charts)


EN helpful tex here:
Black dot is for beads in case you want to use them.

I would advise to start with 12 pattern repeat, so it lays nicely over shoulders later.
There are decreases after working 1st chart, decrease as much needed, so the cowl comes over you head, but the number of stitches must be divisible by 8.
Then work 6 rounds garter st (so there are 3 WS rows visible, cant remember the word for it),
then yo, K 2 tog round, and then again 6 round of garter st.
Now you can measure your knitting tension again and decrease if needed.
K few rounds and start with charts two and make it as long or short as you want.
At the end there are 10 rounds Knit to make nice rolling edge, but some yarns are too soft and it doesn’t roll after washing anymore, so you might to want to skip it. It’s up to you.
Make sure you bind off really loosely.

Hope it helps!
