This versatile accessory blends the coziness of a cowl with the elegance of a lace shawl. Worked in a rich, textured lace motif, it drapes beautifully around the neck and tapers to a soft point in front, creating both warmth and a flattering silhouette.

The cowl is worked flat and sideways. Live stitches at the beginning and the end of the cowl are joined with Kitchener Stitch. The compact size of Cadmus makes it an engaging project for lace lovers and an excellent gift knit.
