Coming up with a last-minute gift is no problem with this delectably soft, quick-to-knit chunky cowl. Featuring an all-over sumptuous lace that is wonderfully easy, it’s an accessory that is utterly compelling and perfect for giving.

This cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up. The bottom and top edges are worked in garter stitch to reduce undesired curling. The body of the cowl is worked in a wandering Kabuki lace pattern.
The Kabuki Lace pattern is both written (see Stitch Instructions) and charted.
