I knitted my cowl from a knit kit byYarnz2go *

Sycamore cowl, enjoy the wonderful play of textures and colors in the new “Eight spot” skeins used here.

The cowl is knitted in the round from the bottom up with a lovely, yet simple lace pattern. Two borders, one on the bottom and the other on the top framing the lace done with a one by one special rib pattern that makes the knit stitches pop just a bit more.

The pattern is fully written and also offers a lace chart.  The circumference of the cowl measures 22” and the height is 15”.
