Get ready to knit a light weight lacy little asymmetrical cowl with my alter ego Lola.

Carte Cowl was September 2025’s Lola’s Choice kit and includes everything you need to make it and a coordinating cuff! Kits are SOLD OUT… so SIGN UP NOW if you don’t want to miss out on future kits in my small knitted kit club!

Start with just a few stitches and let your needles get comfortable creating a linear lace mesh. Once you have increased you’ll work an asymmetrical section, and then decrease back down. Finally, you’ll graft your cowl together with a magical decorative lace join!

Note: I learned this join in a class on Shetland Shawls with Anne Eunson at the Lochness Knitting Festival in 2018. I’ve been using it for the last few years in patterns, I understand that it is a version of the Betsy Join as used by Elizabeth Williamson and I urge you to take a class with her and other Shetland lace knitters to learn from them.

No seaming on this bad boy, and only two ends to weave in!

I knit Carte Cowl with Lanivendole Aestiva, a stunning Abruzzese wool and linen blend that is a dream to knit with. I know you’ll love sinking your needles into this unique light fingering weight yarn.

Want help? No problem. I made you a full-length video tutorial to walk you through every lacy stitch.
