Introducing a delightful cowl or mini shawl, expertly crafted from Artesano Superchunky yarn, perfect for knitters of all skill levels. This cozy accessory features a stunning leafy lace edging that is knit first using ten mm needles and then cast off for a beautiful finish. The design continues by picking up stitches along the lace border, where you'll knit in garter stitch while decreasing to achieve the mini shawl's signature horse shoe shape. The final result can be held closed with a stylish shawl pin, making it both fashionable and functional. This charming mini shawl is modeled here by my 8-year-old, showcasing how adorable it looks on a child. However, when styled on an adult, it transforms into a wonderfully cozy cowl, perfect for chilly weather or as a trendy layering piece. *Note: In row 14 of the leafy edge, please remember to cast off the p2tog and the next two stitches to achieve a total of three stitches bound off.*

I've updated the pattern on my blog to correct an error in the lone leaf written instructions. It should read (and now does) to purl all EVEN rows, not odd! Additionally, on Row 5, it should be tok4 instead of k5. Thank you to louisagrubb for bringing this to my attention!

This pattern not only creates a striking accessory but also provides an excellent opportunity to enhance your knitting techniques with its combination of lace edging and garter stitch. Whether you're looking to make a thoughtful gift or simply indulge in a new project for yourself, this cowl/mini shawl pattern is sure to impress.
