Oh the joys of trial and error. This is my first original lace cowl attempt, and all things considered, it turned out okay. Not really as lacy as I hoped, but whatever. It actually turned out as a lace rib, which is perfectly serviceable if not as feminine as I was going for.
It's an 8 stitch pattern repeat: *k4, yo, k2tbl, k2tog, yo* on the odd rows, and knit all on the even rows. (Knit in the round, of course).
I used a 9 and would probably have liked it better with a 7, and I think it's a little too wide and too short, but I'm my own worst critic, and I'm sure my friend will love it.
The pictures don't really do justice to the color. It's the Knit Picks Palette in Rainforest Heather, which=gorgeous! The main color is a DEEP teal, with little bits of magenta and yellow.
