Melyn Cowl
Infinity scarves or cowls are incredibly versatile accessories. Since Melyn is a large cowl, it can be wrapped twice around your neck or pulled up over your head like a hood.
The beautiful lace pattern which I’ve used for this elegant cowl may seem difficult, but it isn’t at all, it is just fun to knit.
I hope you enjoy making and wearing it!

80 cm / 32” long circular needles or 35 cm / 14” long single point knitting needles (length according to your preference).
