Borrisnoe Cowl

This pattern is available to purchase for 3 euro, or as part of the Concentric Collection e-book for 6 euros. The Concentric Collection also features Gleninsheen Cowl, Toryhill Cowl, and a brief history of the Gold Collars that inspired the collection.

This cowl is knit with lace weight yarn held double, and features cables and pleats. It is ideally knit in a yarn with a slight halo and drape. Increases are worked on the purl sections between the cables; the work is then finished with pleats and a series of horizontal cords, before sewing the ends together.
