This knit in the round lace cowl was designed and knit as a gift for my daughter’s teacher, Ms. Hoy, the I Heart Ms. Hoy Cowl. The I Heart ____ Cowl is a quick project for that special friend in your life. Or something fun for you, with that beautiful skein of yarn in your stash. The fingering weight yarn makes this cowl a perfect accessory for an evening out year round. The lace pattern is a great lace introduction for the beginning lace knitter. The pattern works best with a solid or tonal colored yarn. The pattern has both written and chart instructions.

Pattern has been test knit and professionally tech edited.
