DESCRIPTION
LOVIN FIERCE is a single or double loop cowl knit flat from the top down, with the top and bottom ribbings knit in the round after the side is seamed. The body is knit with a two-row lace repeat pattern in a larger gauge creating different effects depending on how you decide to block your cowl!

SIZES
This pattern allows for customization of the finished size and look of the design! The more aggressively you block it, the more the lace opens up. I find it difficult to decide which I like better! Additional sizes may be made by adding/subtracting cast on stitches in sets of 4. #SizeInclusive
