SPREAD the LOVE I’m feeling the winter doldrums and want to spread a little cheer and love. 50% off all my patterns!!

Fantasma’s lace has a gorgeous curve to it that really lets the yarn shine. It looks beautiful in an evolution from Twisted Fiber Art or in a semi-solid color. With both charts and written instructions, knitters are able to choose the most comfortable way to follow the pattern.

Notes
If you are using a double evo from Twisted Fiber Art, PLEASE make sure to check gauge. I used EVERY last bit of my double evo.

If you are using a double evo and would like a wider cowl that isn’t as tall, I would cast on 180 sts and do 5 repeats of the pattern.
