Otisco Bobble Lace Cowl

This is a pattern for a lacy shoulder cowl. The finished cowl measures 12 1/2 inches high x 58 inches around. The lace cowl can be worn as a spring garment, draping over your shoulders in a way that won’t fall off. Or it can be made to be warmer, by wrapping it around your neck and shoulders, as seen in the pictures. However, you may have a favorite way to wear cowls that’s different from mine. The Japanese lace stitch is a very open one, so it is suitable for at least three seasons, in addition to being very feminine.

The lace stitches are both charted, and written out line by line. The Bobble is made using the crochet method of creating bobbles, with a full explanation contained within the pattern.

Skill Level: Intermediate (assuming a good working knowledge of both knitting, purling, and lace knitting.)

Any heavy weight fingering yarn or sport weight yarn will work for this pattern. No crochet hooks needed if you don't want to edge the cowl
