These airy lace cowls are great for luxury skeins of bulky weight yarn; the quill eyelet stitch really showcases yarn texture and color variegation. The long cowl can be worn long or doubled for a more snug fit. The small cowl just pops over your head and sits loosely on your neck and shoulders. Are you looking for a project for that special skein? This is is it!
