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.

A Warming Cowl

A romantic lacy cowl for a warm and beautiful winter!

Cosy under a coat or to wear, as shown, as a warming and elegant accessory. 

This cowl shawl is designed by Jane Sowerby and you find the pattern in The Knitter, Issue 41 and on Ravelry.

The yarn I'm knitting with is Merinosilk from Grignasco. It's a fine yarn in extrafine merinowool and silk. 100 g measures 1400 m.

A wonderful light yarn that can easily be knitted with several strands. I'm using 3 strands knitting this cowl shawl.

Instead of increasing the number of stitches to shape the cowl you progressively increase the needle size to achieve the fit you want.

A simple way of shaping lace knitting!
