Arcos

Inspired by the flow and curves of gothic arches and vaults, Arcos is a tall summer cowl knitted in a soft cotton yarn. The cowl starts with a repetition of stacked arches almost to the midpoint. Then the patterning slowly develops into a diamond and leaves pattern and ends with a scalloped edge, matching its beginning. Arcos uses a limited amount of easy to remember lace pattern stitches as building blocks. Stacking these stitches in various ways creates a different patterning on the cowl, making it fun to see how the stitches flow into one another. Wear the lacy Arcos cowl on an evening out or casually with a pair of jeans.
