Here is a lacy knit cowl with bright spring colors. What makes it a lacy knit cowl is the 4 row repeat, and it’s pretty easy to make once you’ve done a repeat or two. The Quintet Cowl can be worn hanging long, or wrapped around your neck to keep you nice and cozy. I obtained the Quintet’s lacy knit cowl effect using Lorna’s Laces String Quintet mini-skein pack. The spring colors will brighten up even the coldest of days.
