Description

Also available on Etsy, Ravelry and Yarnsea.

About the pattern

This is a cowl pattern with 6 sizes from child to adult.

A mesmerizing mesh of hexagons creates the illusion of a honey-filled honeycomb on the surface of this lacy cowl.

Perfect for keeping you warm on chilly spring or autumn mornings, this stylish accessory is as easy to make as it is to wear.

You can use up a skein of beautiful hand-dyed yarn or two-three balls of sock yarn.

Work flat or in the round, as you wish. The instructions are written for working flat.

Use a single-ply yarn with a little silk or viscose for extra sheen.
