ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Eugenie Cowl uses simple knits, yarn overs and decreases to evoke shark fins slicing through the water. Eugenie (pronounced You-Geen-ee) is offered in two sizes. Named Eugenie after Dr. Eugenie Clark – popularly known as The Shark Lady and an ichthyologist known for her research of sharks, being a pioneer in the use scuba diving for research and a strong proponent of marine conservation. Directions for both the Long and Short versions are fully written and charted as two separate patterns giving you two cowl patterns for the price of one! Both versions use the same lace in different weights of yarn – sport weight for the long version and worsted weight for the shorter more fitted version.
