This cowl is part of an ebook collection of 5 cowls where each cowl is being released weekly starting November 27th and ending on December 25th. Purchasing the ebook will mean you pay half for each cowl pattern as opposed to purchasing them individually. You will receive the updates for each pattern as they are released. The collection will include cowl patterns using a range of constructions, textures and yarn weights with at least one colorwork cowl.

Please note that refunds will not be given if you purchase patterns individually and then decide to buy the ebook.

Garter Stitch goodness abounds in this tube style cowl! The Lizzie cowl begins with a provisional cast on and is then worked in the round as one piece. After undoing the provisional cast on the two ends are joined by grafting both sets of live stitches. The length of this cowl is easily adjusted by working more or less repeats of the lace pattern or plain garter stitch section. A video link is provided on how to work garter stitch in the round to avoid purling!
