Light and billowing, meditative and soothing. Get lost in your knitting!

Requires one skein lace AND one skein worsted weight.

Lost in Thought is a bottom-up cowl with rolled edges, knit mostly in stockinette. Using larger needles with a lighter yarn creates space and invites you to loosen up a bit, while switching to smaller needles with the heavier yarn keeps you alert. These switches, plus a few simple decreases create a gently changing shape and a very wearable finished product.

Gauge is not hugely important for this project. A lace weight and a worsted will do fine on the needles suggested, though if you tend to knit extremely tight - go up a size; if you knit very loosely, go down one.

Approximate finished measurements, dry & laying flat: 24” across at top; 26” across at bottom; 24” from top to bottom, with edges unrolled.
