The beauty of the Ballantyne Cowl lies in its symmetry. Tower Stitch shells are worked in both directions from the foundation chain to create a fetching openwork lace, at home over both a denim jacket and a silk blouse.

The Ballantyne Cowl requires only a half skein of medium-weight yarn and works up so quickly, you might as well make two!
