Silver Lake Cowl is a light and billowy cowl. Inspired by my childhood growing up near Silver Lake. It is a nod to nostalgia and carefree days of my youth. Silver Lake Cowl is knit flat in a triangle and folded over like an envelope for seaming with a textured stitch pattern (called granite stitch, specifically selected for this as Silver Lake is in the Granite State). It is a perfect accessory for springtime when it’s not quite warm enough for full summer attire, or cool nights at the lake.

Knit flat on circular or straight needles. Silver Lake Cowl is a triangle shape with increases on each side, garter band on each edge, a stitch pattern combination of knits and purls. Easy to follow while watching tv and movies.
