In collaboration with Grandma’s Spinning Wheel and SR Pepper Studios, this cowl (and the yarn color) is inspired by the stunning Sonoran Blue Butterfly.
An oversized cowl, with a bandana tip, it features an easy to memorize, repetitive lace pattern, making it a great intro to lace knitting. It starts out worked flat, then switches to being knitted in the round and is finished off with a picked up lace edge in a contrasting color.
