Graphite Sparkles Cowl

This lacy cowl is a fantastic way to try out Estonian lace knitting! The materials and time commitment are minimal, and the actual pattern is not too complicated. It is also a great pattern to try out beading. There are only 24 beads used in the whole cowl. This is a charted pattern, no written out instructions for the chart.
