This luxuriously soft cowl is a really good way to get your feet wet working a lace pattern that has a bit of action on the wrong side rows. It also features icord edging and an icord bind off.

The asymmetrical leaf pattern moves down the length of the cowl in a serpentine fashion, curving back and forth. The reverse side also provides interest by presenting waves of stockinette that are the flip side of the reverse stockinette ground surrounding the lace.

Pick out beautiful buttons to complement your style and you are good to go!

The lace for this cowl is in chart form only.
