​The juxtaposition of intricate twisted stitch lace and simple stockinette stitch with a clever addition of slip-stitch chain - that's what makes this cowl special. Lightweight and cozy at the same time - it is an accessory that will make every dull cold day brighter and warmer.

The cowl is worked flat from a provisional cast-on. Live stitches at the beginning and the end of the cowl are joined with Kitchener Stitch
