Scalloped Edge Cowl

The Scalloped Edge Cowl is a stylish delight that will look wonderful on anybody. The body pattern follows a basic 4-row lace pattern repeat and features a deep scalloped edge and another, unique scalloped border. Long enough to be wrapped around the neck twice for warmth, if needed, this cowl is sure to be a winter staple.

Special Stitches

Pattern Notes

This pattern is worked in the round from the bottom up.
Note that this yarn grows significantly on blocking because of the combination of the lace stitch pattern and the silk content. If you are substituting yarns make sure you wet block your swatch as you may find that other yarns do not grow as much as the Fyberspates yarn.
