Nonchalant is a light, mesh-patterned cowl perfect for adding a touch of warmth and decoration to any outfit - scrunched up with a coat to keep your neck toasty warm, or left partially unbuttoned to keep the chill off and add a touch of zing.

Worked flat from the bottom up, Nonchalant utilises a beautiful mesh lace pattern that helps to make the most of a small quantity of aran weight yarn, making this a perfect stashbuster knit! Nonchalant also works up super quickly, great for that last minute gift.

Instructions are provided in both written and charted format.

The pattern has been test knitted and professionally tech edited.
