Ellis Lake strikes the perfect balance between cozy and delicate. Simple lace stitches form the alternating twin leaf panels and columns of this cowl, and its small circumference makes it a practical neck warmer for winter. I love how this cowl looks in a wispy alpaca yarn, and it looks wonderful in a smoother fabric as well. Ellis Lake is a quick knit, suitable for beginners, and makes for a lovely gift.
