Beautiful lace and a beaded neckline are featured in this truly feminine cowl. Knitted in the round from the bottom up, this is a stunner! The middle section is done in Stockinette stitch with decreases leading to yet another lace section around the beaded neckline that is ending with a stretchy bind off. Simply gorgeous!
