I’ve been thinking a lot about gratitude recently and as part of that I’m starting a new Gratitude Program. I’m offering a free pattern of your choice for every $25 spent on my Ravelry patterns. Past purchases on Ravelry definitely apply! I wrote a blog post explaining the program here . Happy knitting!

The Simone Cowl uses a basic openwork rib to create one of the loveliest and simplest Shetland lace patterns. In the process of researching openwork patterns and dropped stitches for a vest design, I created this cowl and loved it. Originally published in 2015. Edited and updated for 2019. Still free. Happy knitting!
