“Why wear one string when you can wear two.”
― Coco Chanel, on pearls, French Fashion Designer

In the spirit of Coco Chanel, I have added this pearl bearing cowl to the original Christina Hat. The pearl details on this easy to knit ribbed cowl add just enough class to put it into the category of another sophisticated piece to finish off this coordinated set. The cowl includes an optional eyelet stacked

PATERN NOTES: This is a checklist pattern, each round is written out for easier tracking – however, this makes the pattern significantly longer – check to see the pages you want to print before starting. For your reference, beads and eyelets are placed every 8 rounds.
