Personal pattern by moi, >(:::)

I had only 92 yards remaining after knitting my Faerie Godmother Mitts, and I wanted to knit a matching cowl… it ended up small but cute! Here is my design to match Susie Rogers’s Reading Mitts….

Long-tail cast on 110 st., join to knit in the round on circular needles.

Lace Pattern #1 (similar to Susie Rogers’s Reading Mitts):
Round 1: Purl.
Round 2: Knit.
Round 3: Purl.
Round 4: Knit.
Round 5: Yo, k2tog around.
Round 6: Knit.
Round 7: Purl.
Round 8: Knit.
Round 9: Purl.

Round 10-19: Knit 10 rounds.

Lace Pattern #2:
Round 20: Purl.
Round 21: Knit.
Round 22: Yo, k2tog around.
Round 23: Knit.
Round 24: Purl.

Round 25-34: Knit 10 rounds.

Round 35-43: Knit Lace Pattern #1, above.

Traditional bind off. (phew, I had only 2 yards of yarn left when I finished!!)

This pattern is very flexible; cast on more stitches for a longer cowl, and/or knit more repeats of rounds 10-24 for a wider cowl. Enjoy!
