A mesmerizing mesh of hexagons creates the illusion of a honey-filled honeycomb on the surface of this lacy cowl.

Perfect for keeping you warm on chilly spring or autumn mornings, this stylish accessory is as easy to make as it is to wear.

You can use up a skein of beautiful hand-dyed yarn or two-three balls of sock yarn.

Work flat or in the round, as you wish. The instructions are written for working flat.

Use a single-ply yarn with a little silk or viscose for extra sheen.

Sizes

The sizes range between head sizes of 41 and 69 cm (between 16” and 27”) with about 2-9 cm or 1-3” ease.

The table provides approximate sizes for the height of the cowl.
