A stunning mohair silk cowl with an unusual and beautiful stitch pattern. The stitch pattern looks complicated, but it’s much easier than it looks – and there’s a video tutorial. Using less than 50g of yarn, this is super quick to knit – perfect for gifting!

This pretty and delicate cowl uses 1 over 1, 2 over 2, and 3 over 3 stitches in the bands of lace, hence the name of the pattern.
