Looking for a versatile accessory that can be worn as a cowl, shawl, or poncho? Look no further than the Mesh It Up Cowl!

CONSTRUCTION
The Mesh It Up Cowl is a versatile asymmetrical design that is worked flat from side to side beginning at the back neck edge at the right side. Once the wingspan has been reached, the elegant lace triangles are knit onto the edge of the cowl.

As the triangle edging is worked, all of the cowl stitches are bound-off simultaneously.

Finishing this cowl is very easy. After blocking, a single button is sewn onto the garter stitch edge. The various mesh areas in this design are used as button holes. Selecting a different mesh opening or button hole changes this cowl’s shape and size.
Leave it unbuttoned to wear it as a lovely shawl.
