This project was part of a live Creative Crochet Corner event. The pattern is free when signing up for the free newsletter over here. The video tutorial can be watched for free on the Creative Crochet Corner website over here or on YouTube.

This lovely cowl was inspired by the rich tradition of Irish Crochet Lace. Normally the flower and leaf motifs would be created first, and then joined together while the lace background is created. For this project, to keep things simple, the cowl is created first and the leaves and flowers are stitched to the lace fabric. Even with its bold color, modern silhouette and modified construction method, the historical roots of this beautiful piece still shine through.
