Pattern will be available in Knit Companion.

Moonbeam Cowl is a quick textured lace cowl that has only a 2-stitch repeat! The nearly 3-dimensional stitch pattern is easy to memorize and works up fast on any yarn weight.

This asymmetrical cowl is worked sideways from end to end, with increases only on the neck edge. The cowl is seamed at the back neck to allow for easy blocking of the lace.

Moonbeam Cowl is a great way to use up stash and leftover yarn…maybe even use a gradient yarn.

The pattern is written for fingering or lace weight yarn but can be made in any yarn weight. Size and yarn usage will vary with differences in gauge and yarn choices.

The instructions are both written and charted and the pattern has been professionally tech-edited and tested.

This pattern is the same as my Waffle Cone Cowl that was included in a Madelinetosh summer collection.
