Arcos

Inspired by the elegant flow and graceful curves of gothic arches and vaults, the Arcos summer cowl is a tall and versatile accessory that is beautifully knitted in a soft cotton yarn. This stunning cowl begins with a delightful repetition of stacked arches, which gracefully continues almost to the midpoint of the design. As you work through the pattern, it gradually evolves into a captivating diamond and leaves motif, culminating in a charming scalloped edge that echoes the structure's beginning. The Arcos cowl utilizes a limited selection of easy-to-remember lace pattern stitches as its foundational building blocks, allowing knitters to explore their creativity. By stacking these stitches in various configurations, you’ll discover an enchanting array of different patterning on the cowl, making it a joy to see how the stitches seamlessly flow into one another. Whether you choose to wear the lacy Arcos cowl for an evening out or pair it casually with your favorite jeans, it’s a delightful accessory that adds a touch of elegance to any outfit.
