Bagatelle Cowl

Introducing the "Seaside Lace Cowl," a beautifully crafted accessory inspired by the traditional game often found on charming seaside boardwalks. This striking lace cowl is designed to take full advantage of a luxurious wool/silk blend DK yarn, making it the perfect addition to your wardrobe for any season. Whether worn long and loose during warm weather or styled in a cozy loop for added warmth on chilly days, this cowl showcases a captivating traveling lace panel that serves as an elegant counterpoint to its smooth stockinette body. The wool element offers exceptional warmth and elasticity, while the silk adds a delightful drape and a subtle, lustrous shine to your finished piece.

This cowl is knit in the round, starting with a visually appealing seed stitch border that frames the design beautifully. As you progress, you'll transition into a striking lace and stockinette body that highlights your knitting skills. The lace panel artfully travels to the left as the cowl expands, utilizing strategic increases and decreases along each edge to create intricate patterns that truly stand out. Once you have reached your desired depth, simply repeat the seed stitch border to complete this symmetrical and eye-catching accessory.

Our sample shown was thoughtfully knit using 2 skeins of Kettle Yarn Co. Islington DK (55% BFL/45% silk) in the enchanting "Peony" colorway. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner eager to learn, this Seaside Lace Cowl pattern offers a delightful project that combines beauty and functionality. Explore the joy of knitting with this lovely pattern, and create a cowl that will surely be a favorite in your wardrobe for years to come!
