Twilight Mist Cowl

My Favorite time of day is when the sun starts to set behind the mountains and whispers of pink streak across the darkening sky. I love how as the sun dips lower the blues and the pinks melt together, making it difficult to see where one begins and the other ends. The colors of twilight were the inspiration for this beginner cable and lace cowl. The lace is created through a two-line repeated pattern. So, if you are new to lace and would like to try it out, this is the perfect pattern for you. There are detailed instructions for creating the cable stitch included within the pattern. I hope you enjoy knitting this soft and cuddly cowl.

         Use any fingering weight yarn and mohair yarn with similar fiber content to the yarn listed above. 

Please note that if you are using yarn and mohair that highly contrasts against each other, you will end up with a beautiful marled cowl, with stripes that are more visible. So be creative with the colors that you choose!!
