This cowl is part of an ebook collection of 5 cowls where each cowl is being released weekly starting November 27th and ending on December 25th. Purchasing the ebook will mean you pay half for each cowl pattern as opposed to purchasing them individually. You will receive the updates for each pattern as they are released. The collection will include cowl patterns using a range of constructions, textures and yarn weights with at least one colorwork cowl.

Please note that refunds will not be given if you purchase patterns individually and then decide to buy the ebook.

One of my favorite cowl styles is a long loop that can be doubled up for more coziness.
Zena is worked flat as one long piece and then joined using a three needle bind off with the seam intentionally showing to the right side. It begins with a crochet provisional cast on (although any provisional cast on will work).

The length of this cowl can be easily adapted by working more or less repeats of the lace. The wrong side is also a very pleasing texture!
