This elegant, bell-shaped cowl starts narrower at the neck, then spreads out, ending with a delicate picot edge. It can be worn wide over your shoulders or pulled in for a draped look. And with contrasting garter stripes, you can play with color – go bold or keep it subtle.

You’ll need a DK weight yarn 200 g (approximately 492 yards) for the MC, and 5 mini skeins, 20 g (approximately 49 yards each) for the CCs. Color of CC bands should contrast against MC. If you prefer to work the CC bands in a single color, 100 g of a contrasting DK weight yarn can be used in place of the 5 mini skeins. This pattern is designed with wool or a wool blend in mind so that the finished garment will hold its shape and show off the lace after blocking.

Stockinette gauge is 18 sts and 24.5 rounds per 4 inches/10cm.
Lace gauge is 20 sts and 29 rounds per 4 inches/10cm.
