Pattern by Breean Elyse Miller

This lovely loop has a provisional cast on and an easy to memorize lace pattern - features that challenge beginners and keep things interesting for more advanced knitters. With a simple central panel of garter stitch bordered by scalloped lace edges, this design combines femininity with the graphic simplicity of garter ridges. The Anna Cowl adds a touch of whimsey to your wardrobe. Wear it while collecting shells on a blustery day, or use it to keep warm in a chilly office. You may wear it as one long loop or double it up to stay even cozier.
