Pattern Description:

A beautiful chunky lace cowl that is wonderfully light and comfortable. The lace pattern is feminine and modern. The spaces created by the lace pattern trap body heat keeping you comfortably warm. It is the perfect fall and winter accessory, it dresses up a plain t-shirt and jeans and looks just as beautiful with a sweater dress.

Knit this cowl with only 100 yards of bulky weight yarn or 80 yards of super bulky yarn. The pattern is easy enough for a beginning knitter. It makes a wonderful gift and knits up so fast you can make several!! It is a great project when you want to splurge on a special yarn, or use what you have in your stash (every knitter has to have at least 100 yards of bulky yarn in their stash, right?)

Gauge:

Using bulky yarn (in pattern repeat) 2 stitches per inch and 3 rows per inch on size 11 needle, (in garter stitch) 3 stitches per inch and 4 rows per inch on size 15 needle. Using super bulky yarn (in pattern repeat) 7 stitches per 4 inches and 10 rows per 4 inches on size 15 needle, (in garter stitch) 2 stitches per inch and 3 rows per inch using size 13 needles.
