Tardiness of Spring Cowl

Tardiness of Spring Cowl
It's early June in New England and we are still awaiting Spring. Who would have guessed that with frozen fingers and toes, we would still be clinging to our woolies. But, here we are, June 2nd and temps topping out in the 50s. I created the Tardiness of Spring Cowl as my homage to the need for Spring to arrive as we wait, most impatiently.

This past winter felt endless. The days were short and the nights frigid. We longed for Spring. By April, we were restless as we awaited Spring’s tardy return. The days were slowly getting longer and warmer, but there were still a bit of chill in the air where a lacy versatile cowl can help to drive away the nippiness.





PATTERN NOTES
Tardiness of Spring Cowl is a simple, A-line cowl worked from the bottom up in a lacy mesh pattern. The bottom is wider than the top to allow the piece to sit nicely on the shoulders. Shaping is achieved by changing hook size and gradually adjusting the mesh lace pattern.
