There is something impossibly sweet about lacy knitted accessories. I’m always amazed by how warm they remain despite being created from groups of little holes and I love how eyelets fill up with halo.
This is a very simple lace pattern, intuitive and easy to memorize. It’s a traditional combination of knits and yarn overs that has been in use for many years. It has a sweetness about it that comes from its simplicity and its gentle meandering lines.

The cowl is a simple once-around ring edged in ribbing. The hat is slouchy and round and trimmed with a pompom. I’ve used a pretty fur one, but there will be sufficient yardage to make a matching one from yarn if you prefer.
