Rinlet is an old Scots word for a tiny stream. The cowlette features little streams of rib that flow from the centre through to a delicate lace border. Knit from the top down like a traditional triangular shawl, Rinlet is joined in the round just before the lace starts turning it from shawl to cowlette. Somewhere between a small shawl and a cowl, this is a fun knit and makes a fantastic easy to wear accessory!
