The strong lines contrasting with the delicate lace in this pattern reminded me of my older sister. Since she has just moved from San Francisco to Pittsburgh she needs to build up her winter wardrobe, so I decided a cowl would be a nice addition to her closet. The pattern is interesting enough to keep you from being bored, but repetitive enough that it doesn’t take too much brain power after the first repeat or two!
