Cozy cowl, meant to fit snugly but not tightly around the neck. Wider at bottom to sit better around the base of your neck, perfect for those days when a scarf or shawl won’t do to keep you warm.

Excellent first lace and first in the round project but fun and quick for experienced knitters.

Pattern is both written and charted, so it’s a great way to learn to knit from charts!

Written for 100% merino DK weight yarn but any non-scratchy merino blend would work just as well.

Excellent stash buster as it takes less than 175 yards or great for those smaller skeins.

Can easily be customized to be shorter or taller by changing the number of lace pattern repeats.

Finished, unblocked dimensions:
8 1/2” top border to bottom (at end of “v”)
9 1/2” wide at top of cowl
11” wide at base

Blocking will open up lace and create a larger cowl with more drape.
