This cowl features lace, beading and a tiny bit of cabling in the top and bottom edging.

See the rattles in the edging?

Pattern Notes

Stitch patterns are charted.

Note that the cable edging for the top and bottom edging doesn’t repeat evenly with each lace repeat; work its repeat separately.

The center panel is a modification of Mrs Montague from A Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara Walker.
