Snowdrop Lace Cowl Knitting Pattern

Pattern is available on Etsy, and Payhip, and is available to download for Patrons!

This cowl was created as part of the Initiate Knit Design Challenge, hosted by Francoise Danoy of Aroha Knits. The goal of the challenge was to help people get their design ideas off the ground, and this super-bulky lace and cable cowl was the result!

Note that gauge is flexible for this pattern, though it will change the appearance and/or size of the finished object. Also, the sample was knit using almost all three  skeins of the recommended yarn. Please note that if you are a loose knitter, or are enlarging the pattern in anyway, you may require an additional skein of recommended yarn.

The sample is shown in *Blue Sky Fibers Bulky in "Frost" (I get a small commission if you buy your yarn through this link!) The recommended yarn is 50% alpaca, 50% wool, and is classified as a super-bulky, so for substitution purposes, you’ll want to double most yarns if you want to knit this in anything below a bulky-weight. Also, if you’re substituting yarns, I’d suggest a yarn with at least 50% wool content.

The Snowdrop and Cable Lace pattern is both written and charted. This pattern also has an accessible large print option that is compatible with screen-reading software. This option includes the written instruction.
