Lórien Cowl is a beautiful neck accessory, perfect to keep you warm on a cooler day. This design was born from my Lórien shawl and requires only approximately 225 m (246 yards) of DK yarn, which makes it a fast and satisfying project to work on. 

The beautiful lace in a botanical motif is adorned with nupps that give the cowl a lovely texture.

This cowl is worked top-down. First, it is worked flat, back and forth and it is joined in the round once the suitable head opening is achieved.
