I love it when an easy project flies off the needles, is wonderfully wearable and easy to boot. Love it.
\nSuch was the Easy Lace Cowl. I decided I needed a cowl. Didn’t really find anything that was what I was looking for. So I made one up. Easy stitch pattern, rough guesstimate of numbers, off I went.

\nAnd I promise that it’s easy! a simple six stitch, four row repeat. And two of those rows are plain knit rows.
\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Easy Lace Cowl (by me!) You can get it for free from Ravelry here<\/a>.
\nYarn: Rowan Wool Cotton DK in “Misty” from Calico & Ivy<\/a>, 3 balls.
\nNeedles: I used 4mm, which means that everyone else should probably go with 4.5mm.
\nThe finished cowl is 23cm wide and 130cm long. Goes twice around my neck nicely!

\nI’m really happy with this! The only stitches you’ll need to know are Knit, purl, yarn over and a centred double decrease, which is much easier than it sounds. It’s worked over three stitches, and you just slip 2 stitches together as if you’re going to do a knit-2-together, then K1, and then pass the two slipped stitches together over the Knit 1.
\nIt makes a lovely pattern that looks harder than it is.
