Description:
Hearts and Lace bursts with the charm of big lacy hearts bordered by lacy ribs, and wears like a Valentine around the neck in chilly weather. Stockinette panels feature the lace hearts, and mock cable ribs add elegance and structure.

The pattern features two sizes, a large and small cowl, one for traditional off-the-shelf sport weight yarn and the other for holding two lace weight yarns together as one. Great for stash busting two complimentary laces or use a single ball of lace pulling from both ends.

Both chart and written instructions are included.

In both cases new yarn purchases should be able to produce more than one cowl - One for You! One for Me!
