The earth is transformed with the change of each season, with autumn painting the landscape with bursts of colour and introducing a subtle crispness in the air. This cowl was designed on the autumnal equinox, inspired by the beautiful landscape of British Columbia. The combination of lace and slipped stitches is an enjoyable knit that you won’t want to put down, and leaves you with a cowl that can be worn throughout the changing seasons.

This pattern has been tech edited by Nicola Hodges (@tinyislandtextiles) and thoroughly tested. This pattern has both written instructions and charts for the slipped stitch and lace sections.
