Are You Bready For It

This cowl is knit in the round, bottom-up, using the **Waving Wheat** lace stitch pattern. Suri or Mohair make a lovely lightweight fabric that fills out the pattern gorgeously, especially after blocking. This little cowl is perfect for spring or fall, with a jacket or on its own. It knits up easily and quickly, with a lace pattern that looks impressively intricate and complex but in reality is quite simple. **Size:** 17” tall x 27” (at top) and 29” (at bottom); 43cm tall x 69cm (at top) and 76.5cm (at bottom). **Needles:** US 8 / 5mm, or size to obtain gauge; plus US 7 / 4.5mm, or one size smaller than gauge needles, both in 22 - 30” / 55 - 75cm circular needles. **Gauge:** 1 Waving Wheat pattern repeat (16 sts and 12 rnds) = 3.25 x 2.25” / 8.5cm x 5.5cm on larger needles. **Yarn:** Laceweight Suri (or Mohair): 290 yards / 265 meters. **Notions:** 9 stitch markers, tapestry needle. **Sample knit in:** Emma’s Yarn Suri Silk (74% Baby Suri, 26% Silk; 328 yards / 50g) in Foxy Lady. --- Follow me on Instagram or Facebook at [melissakdesigns][1] and sign up for my newsletter and get a free hat pattern at [melissakdesigns.com][2].
