Norwegian Fir Cowl and Mitts
Textured lace gives this cowl and mitt set a look of winter - like fir trees shrugging off snow. A good introduction to lace.

This pattern includes both written and charted directions for the Norwegian Fir lace. Lace holes at the cowl edges are used as buttonholes - no need to make any.

This cowl and mitt set is a good way to practice working repeated patterns.
