Bird Gets the Worm

With heartfelt gratitude to the legendary Charlie “Yardbird” Parker for inspiring the name of this delightful composition, we proudly present “Bird Gets the Worm” – a stunning lace cowl designed specifically for fingering weight yarn. This intricate lace piece is worked in the round, ensuring a seamless and elegant finish. The body of the cowl is beautifully crafted first, followed by an exquisite edging that is knitted onto both sides, enhancing the overall design. Once blocked, this cowl expands dramatically, showcasing an airy and open texture that is sure to turn heads. Plus, it features a reversible design, allowing you to wear it in multiple ways for added versatility.

The pattern includes comprehensive instructions in both written and charted formats, making it easier for you to follow along at your own pace. The sample featured is crafted using 250 yards of Chicken Coop Dyeworks Feathers yarn in the beautiful colorway “Yard Bird,” showcasing how the yarn's unique qualities enhance the lace pattern.

Skill Level: This project is categorized as intermediate, making it ideal for knitters who are ready to take on new challenges. It incorporates techniques such as provisional cast on, knitting edging directly onto the body, and various decreases including ssp (slip, slip, pass), kttog (knit two together), and skp (slip, knit, pass), providing a great opportunity to expand your knitting skills.

Whether you're an avid knitter or simply looking for a unique, stylish accessory to keep you warm, the “Bird Gets the Worm” cowl promises to be a rewarding project that you'll cherish for years to come. Get your pattern today and let your creativity take flight!
