Bloomsbury is a one-skein, lacy cowlette knit in DK weight yarn. The design is easily customized by varying the lace pattern st count or by adding more lace repeats.
The cowlette is knit flat like a shawl, beginning with a very few cast on stitches on the smaller needle, with increases similar to a triangular shawl. When the desired neck circumference is reached, the cowlette is joined in the round. The lace pattern is then knit and the cowlette is bound off with larger needles using the decreased lace bind off method.
