8.18.14-Updated to include written directions for all charts.

This lacy cowl is a fantastic way to try out Estonian lace knitting! The materials and time commitment are minimal, and the actual pattern is not too complicated. It is also a great pattern to try out beading. There are only 24 beads used in the whole cowl. This is a charted pattern, no written out instructions for the chart.

Finished Measurements:
pre-blocked 18”/45cm long and 6.5”/16cm wide
after blocking 22”/56cm long and 8.5”/22cm wide

Other Materials Needed:
5 buttons 5/8”/16mm You can use slightly smaller buttons, as long as they don’t slip back through the buttonholes.

Beads: 24 size 6/0 beads, or size of your choice. As long as you can thread them overtop a knit stitch, (or you can pre-string them if preferred), feel free to use any type of bead you like!
