Aquitaine is a triangle shawl with a simple lace pattern that is reflected across the spine. Originally intended as a one-skein project, I have included numbers and stitch counts for a shawl that uses about 412 yds of fingering weight yarn.
However, Aquitaine can be upsized and downsized by any number of repeats– no matter how many times you work Chart 1, Chart 2 will still fit like a glove.
Both written and charted instructions are included in the pattern.
The Leicester cowl was designed with the white neck ruffs of the 16th century in mind. My version is a little more understated, of course, hanging light and loose and lacy for a thoroughly modern interpretation of the Elizabethan look. Directions are given for a picot bind-off that mirrors the picot cast-on, as well as a simple and stretchy garter bind-off. This pattern includes a medium and a large size, but you can easily change the number of horizontal repeats for a tighter or looser look. Likewise, the number of vertical repeats can be altered to produce a taller or shorter cowl. If you follow the directions as given, you can squeeze two cowls out of a single 100g skein of sock yarn, making this a great pattern for holiday gift knitting.
Written and charted instructions included.
