This cowl could be your go-to gift knit. It only takes a single skein of special yarn to make a luxury accessory for yourself or someone you love. The lace pattern is very accessible with only yarnovers and either a K3tog or a SSSK. Simple edging and only having lace stitches every other row make this a straight-forward project even for lace beginners.

If you choose a darker shade of the yarn, I do recommend putting stitch markers between each repeat to help you see the pattern.
