A little bit of lacy luxury about my chin always makes me feel beautiful (and clever, too)! Vanora is a pretty and practical fluted lace cowl to knit up in your favorite cozy sport weight yarn. It is shaped by changing needle size, so no increasing in pattern required. The body of the cowl features an interesting and angular pendant lace motif (I think it looks like little church steeples). The top and bottom feature a double hem with a picot edging. The top of the double hem edge is wide, handy in case a sudden weather change calls you to pull your Vanora cowl up over your head to cover your ears. This also gives the cowl good standing structure when pooled about your shoulders.

With little details like a double hem, an interesting lace pattern and a practical shape, you will enjoy knitting and wearing your Vanora lace cowl this season!
