Worked in either Aran or DK weight, this cozy cowl features columns of slipped stitches against a reverse stockinette background, flowing into a pretty ribbed lace border to keep your neck warm and toasty.

Inspired by my earlier pattern, the Odetta shawl, this cowl and the original shawl are now written for Peace Fleece Worsted or DK. Aran weight makes for quick and incredibly warm knits, while DK creates a lighter fabric with less bulk, but equally warm.
