Grande Eyelet Cowl includes two options: Without beads in a bulky yarn or with beads using a worsted weight yarn and mohair yarn carried together. Pattern includes written and charted instructions. The recommended yarn was chosen for its drape. If substituting yarn, look for a yarn with drape, perhaps a wool/silk or a wool/alpaca blend. Cowl can be made wider by adding an additional 6 or 12 rounds of pattern stitch. Pattern includes instructions for bead placement.

Every effort has been made to create this knitting pattern. Prior to publication, I have the pattern reviewed by a paid professional technical editor. I then hire test knitters to knit the pattern to ensure you receive user-friendly, clearly written instructions for your knitting success. Because this is a PDF download, I cannot refund your purchase. If you have any questions, please contact me at lisa@handworksnw.com prior to purchasing this pattern.
