Nikki Lace Cowl
2024 update to include a version with mohair!
The original pattern was written for 1 skein of fingering weight yarn using a US 7/4.5mm needle. The mohair update is 1 strand of fingering weight held double with 1 strand of mohair using a US 8/5mm needle.
Gauge for the mohair version is 16 stitches/28 rows for 4 inches.
Mohair version finished size if 11.5 inches tall x 51 inches around
I made this cowl for one of my daughter’s preschool teachers for Christmas last year, and immediately I knew it needed to be a written pattern! While writing my notes and working up new samples, I called it the “Nikki” cowl because that was the teacher’s name and it was easy to remember what cowl I was referring to. When it came time to name the actual pattern, I was stumped for a better name, so I just kept it!
This beginner friendly cowl works up quickly and is a great one-skein project for those special hand dyed skeins you have lying around, and don’t want to turn into socks. It’s warm, but lightweight when worked up in a wool-blend fingering weight yarn. It would be so easy to work this up in a heavier weight yarn, too, for something warmer – just adjust your needle size to your yarn and adjust your cast on number. This is a great pattern for both variegated and solid yarns.
I hope you love this cowl as much as I do – I wear mine all the time and it’s my new favorite!
You can make this cowl with one 100g skein of fingering weight yarn. It works well with either a solid/semi-solid or a variegated yarn.
You’ll want a 24 inch circular needle to hold all your stitches.
