This beautiful and elegant cowl uses designer Yumiko Alexander's signature cable dropped-stitch lace pattern. It makes an eye-catching piece. This stitch pattern combines cables and dropped stitches, so if you know how to work with cables, you are good to go! If you feel like you want an easier knit, the pattern includes an option to make the lace pattern without cables. It makes a simply beautiful cowl. A bottom slit opens up and makes a unique shape, yet it is comfortable to wear. We used a bamboo/wool/silk blend held together with a sparkly lace-weight yarn throughout the project for a festive topper for this holiday season.
