At the right moment, the darkest hours can show us the full moon working magic with the winter aspen tree on the crystalline snow. Create your own shadows with a bit of lace and rib. The lace is easy enough for beginners to perfect skills and experienced knitters to relax and enjoy. Work either design with a single skein or choose contrast ribbing or even a gradient. The middle of the night may reveal rarely seen beauty. Knit the mystery.

Moonshadow cowls are knit with DK weight yarn in two easy-to-wear sizes and would be perfect for gift knitting. The pattern has both written and charted instructions.

Complete the set with Moonshadow Mitts
