This simple lace mesh cowl works up from just one 50g skein and has a “wrong side” texture that is just as interesting as the “right side”.
A very satisfying quick project, great for gifts, and a good way to highlight the colors of a variegated yarn in a delicate accessory.

The color and shine of the silk blend yarn reminded me of the inside of an abalone shell!

Suggested Yarn: 1 skein of Malabrigo Silky Merino (sample colorway: Indonesia)

Sizing: One size that should fit most adults easily, with two other options suggested in the pattern if you want a narrower or deeper cowl.

Gauge: Very flexible, gauge used in the sample are given for reference
