This lace cowl is a quick and gratifying crochet project that uses minimum yardage, so it’s a perfect choice for a special yarn. Worked in the round with joined rows for a seamless finish, the stitch is a quickly memorized combination of cluster and bobble stitches that give warmth and soft structure. The stitch pattern is given in written out and diagram form.

Kits for this pattern are available in my etsy shop. Kits include small-farm alpaca/bamboo blend yarn from Alpenglow, printed pattern, and pdf download code for $33 plus shipping. Give one as a gift, or keep it all to yourself!
