The Ellen Cowl combines my two favorite things – scarves and Victorian style lace! Directly inspired by the intricate lace doilies my grandmother Ellen makes, the Ellen Cowl features a moss stitch foundation overlayed with a beautiful lace detail. Although the lace looks tricky, it’s actually a simple repeat, joined with a picot lattice finish.

This design means a lot to me, so I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did in designing it!
