Arbor Long Cowl

Charted pattern. NO line by line instructions.

Intermediate skill level: Wraps (smocking), ktbl, basic lace sts, ‘no stitch’ spaces, and shifting repeat borders that extend beyond end of round.

Japanese wrapped stitching creates a lovely lattice effect. With simple lace points at the lower edge.

Worked in the round.
