Old Shell is a double-looped cowl knit in one piece from end to end and sewn together. It features a classic Old shale-inspired lace panel, flanked by two panels with a chevron look created with increases and decreases. The pattern includes instructions for two sizes, but it’s easily adjusted to fit anyone by working more or fewer repeats.
