The Miriam Cowl is a lightweight lace cowl knitting pattern worked in the round with delicate openwork and simple ribbed edges.

Designed with fingering-weight yarn, this cowl is a lovely way to enjoy lace knitting without committing to a larger project. The repeating lace pattern combines yarn overs and decreases with plenty of simple knit rounds in between, making it an approachable project if you enjoy a little detail without complicated construction.

The cowl begins and ends with 1x1 ribbing and is worked completely in the round, so there are no seams when you’re finished.

I knit my Miriam Cowl with Hobbii Soft Alpaca for a soft, drapey fabric that lets the lace open beautifully after blocking.
