The Anna Cowl by Swans Island

The Anna Cowl by Swans Island

This lovely loop in the Anna Cowl 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 whimsy 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, circumference 55.25” and width 8.5”.
