I know how hard it is to decide what to make with that 100 Gram skein of luxury yarn… it’s like trying to pick your favorite dessert at a gourmet patisserie. What better way to show off that lovely yarn than by adorning it around your neck? This is a satisfying knit that will show off your lovely solid, tonal or even crazy-over-the-top-multi. The lace border is worked first and joined into a circle. Stitches are then picked up along the side of the lace border and the body of the cowl is worked in the round.
