This light lacy cowl will add a touch of elegance and warmth to your winter outfits. The lace in the cowl is reminiscent of coral and the way it grows, branching out from itself. Botany Bay is in Australia, famous for its coral reefs.
The lace is a 12-row repeat, about average in difficulty as lace goes. There is a ruffle which can be left loose and soft, or blocked into a scalloped edge.
Finished measurements are: 18 inches around, 9 ½ inches high / 45cm x 24cm, after blocking. (Exact size is not crucial. Cowl will be stretchy.)
Note: Both written instructions and a lace chart are provided.

I’ve been knitting on and off since my teens, but became somewhat obsessed with it in 2007. I love squishy wools for the short, mild Los Angeles winters, and like light-weight wools, cottons and blends for the rest of the year. I really believe that even beginner knitters can create something beautiful and useful, so I strive to keep patterns simple yet original. I have sold designs to Interweave Knits, Vogue Knitting, Knit Picks, Knit Now magazine, Classic Elite Yarns, and Three Irish Girls Yarns, and have been published in several books. I produce a monthly newsletter with knitting tips, freebies, reviews, and giveaways -- please sign up at www.knitandtravelandsuch.blogspot.com. Get a free pattern when you sign up.
