Prickly Thorns Cowl

Prickly lace edges rows and rows of garter stitch in this shawl-style cowl. The oversized picot edge adds a beautiful texture contrast, much like a thistle adds interest in a flower bouquet. This cowl is knit flat and seamed, with short rows and a unique twist to the seam down the back.
