Foliole Cowl

The eyelets so characteristic of lace stitch patterns open up knitted fabric, instantly adding drama. Foliole began as a traditional lace leaf cowl, but after working a couple of repeats I felt the fabric needed some texture as well. I replaced half a leaf's lace with a cable pattern to give the cowl some structure while keeping the stitch pattern balanced and naturally flowing. The cowl is worked in a DK weight 100% Merino; adjust the size by working extra (or fewer) multiples of the stitch pattern repeat.
