Shawls, Wraps & Cowls 

In celebration of those deliciously crisp fall days, a repeating lace leaf within a diamond decorates the bottom edge of this poncho. Seed Stitch along the outer edges provides a clean, flat finish. This asymmetrical piece is worked as a long rectangle, which is folded in half and seamed along one shoulder. Increased stitches at the collar create a relaxed cowl look

Staggered dropped stitches showcase color variations in hand painted yarns, and narrow two-stitch I‑cords add a splash of fringe across the front edge of this eye-catching cowl

The lightweight Amaranth Lace Cowl is the ideal accessory for warm days and cool nights. This delicate cowl is worked in the round from the bottom up using an easy ribbed lace pattern, and a silk/Merino/cashmere blend yarn ensures softness without bulk. Scalloped points add detail to the top and bottom edges

This light and flowy stole features a lattice border and an openwork leaf pattern. Aurelia is knitted flat with a fixed stitch count, making it an accessible pattern for those newer to lace knitting

This exciting pattern includes instructions for three stylish cowls: a roll-over collar version, a neckwarmer and a slouch cowl. Cabling, twisted stitches, yarn-overs and working in the round all contribute to the rich texture

The Jardin Des Fleurs shawl reflects the natural grace and beauty of a French flower garden. It begins at the center back neck and is worked out and downward, in two mirrored right triangles, connected along the spine

Combining several traditional lace motifs in a classic rectangular wrap shape, Eden Lace is knit in fingering weight yarn, making it squishy, warm, and comfy to wear

Breakers is an asymmetrical shawlette worked from the far left point to the right side edge. One yarn over paired with one decrease on each right side row forms the rising waves, flowing in a sea of Garter Stitch

Michelina is a flirty, crescent-shaped shawl decorated with pops of contrasting color. Surprisingly simple stitches make this an impressive addition to any wardrobe.

Capelets suit any occasion, from a walking tour of the city to a special event. With their mix of straight and curving lines, intricate allover cables recall Mackintosh stained glass designs. Dressmaker details worthy of Chanel create the perfect fit.

Simple textures and lace patterns allow the saturated and subtle color shifts to flow and fade into one another. This pattern is FREE on the Knit Picks website.
