Lace Cowl
Posted by Stephanie MCDIARMID on 22nd Dec 2015
I am a tight knitter. Always make a swatch to find correct gauge for yarn substitute. I'm using 7.0mm 24" circular needles. I am currently using Patrons Classic Wool - 100 % Pure New Wool 100g/3.50 oz. I'm on my 2 ball right now. Approximate amount needed will be 3 balls to complete.
So far, This is a very easy to follow pattern.
Conclusion: When completed, I will be starting on another one right away to give away.
This is a wonderful gift: For family and friends etc this winter. -

Cowl

The pattern was easy to follow. It was stitches that I already knew how to do so that made it not a complicated pattern.

A pleasure to knit
Posted by Unknown on 12th Dec 2013
I was looking for a cowl pattern as I had some beautiful slate grey merino mix and this lace pattern is perfect. With having the 3 purl i started the next row without even checking which round i would be on. The pattern is easy to follow, therefore no problem to put down and pick up again if you are interrupted. I will definitely knit it again.

Lace at its best
Posted by Jen on 30th Oct 2013
I love this pattern. Reason why is that I usually get lost knitting lace,can't find my way back and give up. With this pattern, there is a repeat of 3 purl stitches starting a 16 stitch pattern repeat regardless of the row you are on, so if you lose count, you can get back by only taking out a few stitches. The pattern is extremely easy to read (LOVE the chart for lace). I doubled my gorgeous stock-piled Madeleine Tosh silk/wool blend to meet gauge and used an 11 needle and it looks fabulous. For mom's 92nd birthday. Can't wait to make another one, or two! I am so pleased I conquered this.

I have not had a chance to make this pattern, but in overview I do believe it will be simple. The directions are clear and easy to follow. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is not time to try. Thanks so much I do look forward to making this
