Simple Stitch patterns can be anything but boring. The Lacy effect with short color bursts found in Caron Simply Soft Paints blend perfectly in this casual dress cowl. I see this being worn through the last frost, and nearly to Mothers Day, incorporating a soft burst of Spring, while keeping the lingering cold of Winter at bay.

Pattern works from starting chain, through length, then the ends are stitched to form the cowl.
Additional length can be added by adding rows.
