Giselle Lace Cowl Pattern

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 in a 4-ply or laceweight yarn using basic stitches with pattern on alternate rounds only, it's an ideal introduction to knitted lace in the round. The pattern can easily be adapted to make a larger circumference cowl if required (more yarn would be required).

The cowl is designed to be worked on a circular needle and can be made with approximately 60g (240m) of 4-ply or 35g (280m) of laceweight yarn.

The 4-ply sample was knitted in Mulberry Silk 4-ply in A Zest for Lime on 3mm and 4mm needles. Finished measurements after blocking:  62cm (24.5 inches) in circumference, 30cm (12 inches) deep.

The laceweight sample was worked in Cashmere Silk Lace (discontinued - substitute with Alpaca Silk Cashmere Lace) in Cornflower Crazy on 2.75mm and 3.5mm needles.  Finished measurements after blocking: 60cm (24 inches) in circumference, 28cm (11 inches) deep.

The lace pattern is both charted and written in full.
