Beautiful! And not too scratchy around the neck, because of the acrylic yarn.

This cowl has a lighter look than usual, because of the lace work. I like it! The repeating pattern reminds me of waves breaking on the beach.

This is a lovely cowl. The combo of edge ribbing and the lacy middle looks very nice together.
