Collins Brook Cowl
Named after the brook that zig-zags behind my home in Maine, Collins Brook Cowl is a versatile worsted-weight cowl pattern that is knit in the round and features an easy zig-zag lace stitch pattern,
There are instructions for either a long version (that can be wrapped around the neck twice) or a short version for a light lacy layer. Never done any kind of lace work before? This pattern is a great choice for lace newbies and provides a good introduction into a couple of the most basic techniques that you’ll find with lace work.
