Giselle Cowl Kit - British Alpaca Silk 4-ply

A cosy cowl, knitted in the round, using a diamond lace pattern with a pretty edging that can be blocked into soft or more dramatic points with a picot edging or a plain bind-off. Suitable for knitters with some experience of lace, the skill level for this design is classified as Intermediate.

Quick to knit using basic stitches with pattern on alternate rounds only, it's an ideal introduction to knitted lace in the round. The pattern could easily be adapted to make a larger circumference cowl if required (more yarn would be required).

The finished measurements after blocking are circumference 62cm (24.5 inches) and depth 30cm (12 inches), worked on a 4.00mm circular needle.

The kit includes the printed pattern and a 60g (270m) skein of our hand-painted 80% Baby Alpaca (harvested only from British flocks), 20% Tussah Silk 4-ply yarn, sufficient to make the cowl as written.

The pattern is presented both in chart form and as fully written instructions, and also includes instructions for a laceweight version of the cowl.
