Grandma Violetta loved flowers! I can’t remember a time we went for a visit where her kitchen wasn’t adorned by planters full of purple violets and pink pansies. Whenever I knit this little flower lace stitch or work with yarn in her favorite floral colors, I’m reminded of her. This cowl joins a collection of accessories designed in Violetta’s honor.
The cowl is worked from the top down and a perfect stash-buster! The pattern calls for a generous 18” cowl but you can customize the length so it’s perfect for you. The three-color Linen Stitch is the perfect palette to play with color and be creative. A great accessory to keep you warm during winter and accent your  outfits during transitional seasons.
