Honey Vodka
I chose a bold and linear lace, something simple and easily memorized. It’s also pretty addictive - as the double YOs shift and break up the lace ribs, it totally whispers that “one more repeat” challenge with each repeat…
The texture and subtle shading of the yarn is allowed to show up in the ribs, and this cormo is a fiber that deserves a little attention. It’s light and delicate, but rustic and earthy all at the same time.
The majority of the cowl is knit in the offset lace, but before finishing, I added a simple ribbed section for contrast and to make it easy to adjust length without worrying about what row you want to stop on. Because a summer knit should be pretty easygoing, yes?
For my cowl, I used one skein, but Honey Vodka could easily be knit longer if desired, and two skeins would make for a lovely double loop. Notes in the pattern are included for working an alternate width or length.
