My friend Kali is the most amazingly fashionable lady I know. She has this eye for style and clothes that I could never hope to have. When she asked me to make her a cowl, I knew I wanted to make her something that would fit right into her wardrobe. Thus, Kali’s Cowl was born.

A little Victorian, a little lacy, Kali’s Cowl is just the thing to throw on when you want a little feminine touch without going overboard. Kali’s Cowl comes in 4 sizes, with instructions on how to customize it to your own size. The cowl comes with shaping to help it stay up and reveal those beautiful motifs.

The motifs are worked from side-to side until it reaches desired length, then joined to work in the round for the main body. The motifs are fully charted and written out.

This pattern is fully charted and written out. It is written in US terms.
