This pattern is available from knitpicks.com for $4.99.

Easy lace patterning starts using only Aloft for a light and airy
texture. In the center, Aloft and Palette are held together for a
tighter fabric and more warmth. The final edge, using just Aloft,
is worked after turning your work inside out. This is done so the
top edge shows the pretty side of the lace pattern even though it
folds down and out due to its light and open texture.

For the top edge the lace pattern is worked inside out, so when it folds over, you still have the pretty side showing!

Cowl is worked in the round with two size options. Choose the
larger size for a long cowl with the option to wrap it twice, or the
smaller size for a single comfy layer around your neck or for a
quick gift.
