I needed a very simple, repetitive, and intuitive project to work on, and Lodi Ridge was just that. The cowl uses two contrasting skeins of fingering weight. I used Iron Horse as it drapes wonderfully with its silk, and is a joy to make.

Lodi Ridge is worked seamlessly in the round. Instructions for the basic lace section are written out line by line, and all measurements are given in metric and Imperial for personal preference.
