The Dewdrops Cowl is designed with a confident beginner in mind. With a simple 4-stitch lace repeat, watch your project come alive after each row with eyelets that look like dewdrops sliding down a blade of grass. This cowl will help a newer knitter build confidence with lace and in-the-round knitting.

This pattern is part of a set! Find the Dewdrops Headband here.

The Dewdrops Cowl and Headband both utilize and are inspired by the Right Diagonal lace stitch featured in Debbie Stoller’s All Day Beret.
