Erie Coast

Evoking the beauty of the place where the lake meets the shore, this fingering weight cowl is knitted in the round from the bottom up, starting with waves of lace, and moving into stockinette and then ending with a seed stitch edge. This versatile item can be worn around the neck like a cowl, or pulled down over the shoulders like a capelet.

The lace portion of the cowl is provided in both charted and written formats.
