Grey Wing Cowl

This elegant, bell-shaped cowl starts narrower at the neck, then spreads out, ending with a delicate picot edge. It can be worn wide over your shoulders or pulled in for a draped look. And with contrasting garter stripes, you can play with color – go bold or keep it subtle.

SUGGESTED YARN

Huephoria Fibers Student Council DK, 75% superwash merino, 25% nylon, 246 yds/100 g skein, 2 skeins (Main Color [MC])

Huephoria Fibers Shiver 5-Skein Mini Set (Student Council DK), 75% superwash merino, 25% nylon, 49 yds/20 g mini skein, 5 mini skeins (Contrast Colors [CC] 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5).

Sample shown in “One Way or Another” (MC) and “Dweezil” mini skein set (CCs 1-5).

Yarn substitution notes:

You’ll need a DK weight yarn 200 g (approximately 492 yards) for the MC, and 5 mini skeins, 20 g (approximately 49 yards each) for the CCs. Color of CC bands should contrast against MC. If you prefer to work the CC bands in a single color, 100 g of a contrasting DK weight yarn can be used in place of the 5 mini skeins. This pattern is designed with wool or a wool blend in mind so that the finished garment will hold its shape and show off the lace after blocking.
