Upstairs Downstairs: A Cowl in Three Sizes
Upside-down and right-side-up are interchangeable in this fun, quick, and easy cowl knitted in the round. Although specific yarn brands are suggested, the cowl can be worked in any similar sport weight, including handspun. A handy instruction chart will help track your progress and yardage as you knit. The simple lace pattern is suitable for most yarn types, including variegated.
Skill level: Confident beginners and up. The lace pattern is one line and easy to memorize.
