Clary’s Lace Cowl keeps her neck warm during harsh Virginia winters and protect her skin when the mosquitos come out in the heat of summer. Take Great Aunt Clary’s advice by making one of these useful but lovely cowls for yourself, because as Clary says, “There’s no reason useful has to mean ugly.”

Clary’s Lace Cowl is one of 12 patterns in the upcoming Secret Stitches A Crochet Companion, Book 2. Learn more of Great Aunt Clary’s sayings in C. Jane Reid’s novel, The Lost Soldier, book three of The Donaghue Histories. Both books are coming out at the end of this year. Sign up for my mailing list on www.ReCrochetions.com for announcements.
