Pattern Notes
This cowl is worked from bottom to top. After a short section of 1x1 twist rib, the lace body is worked, following the written or chart instructions, and finish with another section of 1x1 twist rib.
The openwork panel pattern consists of a repeat of 16 stitches and 24 rounds; if you want to modify the circumference of the cowl, you only have to add or remove a number of stitches multiple of 16. To modify the length: if you want shorter you can remove a whole repetition, or do only up to round 12 (half repetition); and if you want it longer, repeat this sequence of 24 rounds as many times as you want.
Please note that any of these modifications will change the amount of yarn required.
