Infinity scarves or cowls are incredibly versatile accessories. Since Melyn is a large cowl, it can be wrapped twice around your neck or pulled up over your head like a hood.
The beautiful lace pattern which I’ve used for this elegant cowl may seem difficult, but it isn’t at all, it is just fun to knit.
I hope you enjoy making and wearing it!

Finished (blocked) size:

Width: approx. 27.75 cm / 11”.
Length (cowl folded in half): approx. 67.5 cm / 27”.

Size is adjustable

Suggested yarn:

2 skeins of Malabrigo Lace in 035 Frank Ochre colourway, 100% baby merino wool, approx. 430 m / 50 g / 470 yds per skein, or approx. 662 m / 77 g / 724 yds of lace weight yarn that gives you the gauge. Yardage for the gauge swatch is included.


Needles:

3.75 mm / US 5 or size needed to obtain gauge,
80 cm / 32” long circular needles or 35 cm / 14” long single point knitting needles (length according to your preference).

3.75 or 4 mm / US F or G crochet hook for Provisional Cast-on (try to use one that matches your knitting needle size).


Notions:

blocking pins, wires, and mats (optional).


Gauge:
24.5 sts and 35.5 rows = 10 cm / 4” over lace pattern on 3.75 mm / US 5 needles, measured flat after blocking.
Gauge is not crucial on this project, but note that size and yardage will be affected when worked in a different gauge.
