A Lacy Cowl Shawl

This cowl shawl is so pretty! That's how I feel when I look at it. The lace pattern looks like flowers and the ruffled edge looks like floral clocks.

 

 

The choice of yarn gave this cowl shawl a heavier drape and more stretch than de models in the pattern. It turns into a little poncho when you pull it down over the shoulders.

 

Since I have a rather firm tension/gauge I knitted the lace pattern twice as long as in the pattern. I even think that it looks better with more lace pattern.
The polo neck falls down because of the heavier drape and turns into a cowl neck.

This cowl shawl is a gift to a friend. She thinks it's awesome! She just love it!

The different lace patterns and the ruffled edge make this design a fun and various project.
