A Lacy Cowl Pattern

Cowl Lovely........Posted a new design today on Craftsy;  It's a one size fits all cowl worked in a lovely Madeline Tosh Yarn;  It's called Cowl Lovely....http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/knitting/accessory/cowl-lovely/63262?   TmoneySymbol=%24&fresh=true&NAVIGATION_PAGE_CONTEXT_ATTR=PATTERN

The cowl is knit as a long rectangle , then seamed at the cast on and cast off edges.   I wanted the lace design to go "around" the neck.   It could also be made longer, 54" or so if you wanted to wrap twice around your neck.   I designed this to wear over a plain shirt or sweater to dress it up.

Addendum to the Ribbed Baby Beanie

Here is my ribbed baby beanie pattern on a real live kidlet! ; My adorable grandson Dorian.

Dorian lives in Vancouver , Canada with his lovely parents and needs a hat most of the year.

He was the inspiration for this pattern as he would outgrow hats as fast as they could be made.  This one with it's ribbed stitch structure gives more flexibility with head size while still hugging the little head so it stays on.   Sizes available for this pattrn:S (newborn-3mo,13”-14” circumference), M (3-6mo, 14”-17” circumference), L ( 6-12mo,16”-19”), XL(12mo-3yr, 18”-20”). and the pattern is available here:

This hat is made of fingering sock yarn , it can also be done with a self striping yarn and contrasting crown or fold up cuff...a real stash buster and fun to make!
