This one is for the daydreamers, the sky-gazers, and the lace knitters.

There are days when the sky is so blue and the clouds are so soft that I feel like I could take a butterfly net and capture the clouds. This pattern was designed for anyone who has ever flopped flat on their back in the grass and stared up at passing clouds. The Cloud Catcher cowl combines lace, slipped stitches, and bobbles to evoke the pillowy slopes and light wisps of clouds.

Worked SEAMLESSLY from the top down, this cowl knits up quickly (like any good cowl should), but wears like a hassle-free shawl. Unlike traditional tube cowls that rumple into a pile of knitting around your neck, this shawl-shaped construction lets your knitting shine by creating a triangular front and shortened back. The shape is wonderful, wearable, and just plain fun to knit.

(NOTE: There are lots of ways to wear this cowl! Wear the point of the cowl centered in the front (see photo 2), or off one shoulder (see photos 1). You can even wear your cowl with the point in the back!)
