ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Water Lilies Cowl features basic decreases and yarn overs to evoke the sweep of broad and quick brush strokes in Impressionist paintings. This cowl is long for a draped-scarf feel. Named Water Lilies Cowl because the lace evokes Monet’s 1914 painting and the flowers by the same name.
