Storm clouds overhead can be a good thing--like when you slip on this cozy cowl! It’s light as a breeze but warm as can be thanks to the mohair-blend yarn, worked in a large-scale lace pattern that looks like thunderheads mounting on the horizon. Clusters of knitted-in beads and an optional beaded fringe complete the April showers effect. The versatile length of this cowl lets you wear it any number of ways: as a single elegant loop, doubled for extra warmth, or over the shoulders as a shawl.

Cowl is worked flat in one piece and seamed or grafted end-to-end. Pattern includes charted AND written instructions for lace pattern.
