I created this cowl pattern to introduce you to lace knitting.
The 6-stitch repeat pattern is easy to follow.
A good way to keep track of your repeat pattern is put markers in after each repeat of the 6 stitches. These markers should be different from your beginning of round marker.
You can increase the length of the cowl pattern by adding stitches to your cast on.

I used Malabrigo Sock yarn for my cowl, but you could use any weight of yarn if you wish to change it up.
