THIS KNITTING PATTERN IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD IN PDF FORMAT AND IN ENGLISH ONLY!

The Poet Cowl is a versatile and elegant accessory, showcasing the same flowing lace pattern found in my Poet and Poetry designs. Its bias construction gives it a beautiful drape, and the airy fabric makes it light yet warm. The cowl can be styled in many ways: wear it draped softly around the neck for an effortless look, tucked neatly under a coat for extra coziness, or pulled up higher to shield from the cold. Its lace texture adds a delicate touch whether layered over a dress, blouse, or knitwear.

The cowl is knitted flat on the bias, starting at the back neck and gradually increasing to its full width. The lace pattern flows seamlessly with the shaping and is charted only (not written out). Slipped-stitch edges create the look of i-cord edging, while the small seam at the back neck is finished invisibly with mattress stitch.

For best results, choose a solid or softly tonal colorway to highlight the lace details. The design is worked with fingering weight yarn held together with silk mohair for a soft halo and subtle luxury, but it can also be knitted in a single strand of DK weight yarn for a more defined look.
