Merinette Cowlette
The Merinette cowlette is a fun bandana-shape. It uses similar stitch patterns to my larger kite shawl – Merin. It’s a quick and easy pattern with a small palette of stitches to create the garter lace pattern. The Merinette cowlette is perfect for those 5 x 20g mini skein sets. Pick your favourite colours and start knitting.
