This is a light, lacy cowl that has a very easy to remember lace pattern that is broken up by wide garter bands. This project is perfect for a beginner who wants to try lace for the first time, but it is also suitable for those who are advanced beginners and experienced knitters as well. This is great as a quick and easy gift or for making yourself something nice with that small skein of special yarn you bought! This cowl can easily be adjusted to make it longer or shorter if desired by adding multiples of two stitches.
