This pretty broomstick lace cowl pattern makes a cozy accessory for chilly days and is a great starter project if you’re new to broomstick lace. Worked in worsted-weight yarn, the cowl features rows of open broomstick lace and a simple button closure that lets you adjust the fit.

If you’ve never tried broomstick lace, don’t be intimidated! It’s really quick, simple, and fun to do. My step-by-step broomstick lace photo tutorial will walk you through the basic technique.

Broomstick Lace Cowl Instructions

Ch 25.

Row 1: Work 1 sc in the 2nd ch from hook and each ch across — 24 sts.

Row 2: Put loop from hook onto knitting needle; *insert hook into next stitch on the right and pull up a loop, transfer loop to needle, rep from * across — 24 loops on needle.

Row 3: Insert hook through first 4 lps from needle, yo and pull through loops, ch 1 (does not count as a stitch here and throughout), work 4 sc in same loops, *inserting hook through next 4 loops, work 4 sc in loops, rep from * across — 24 sts.

Repeat Rows 2 and 3 twenty-three more times or until the cowl reaches your desired length, ending after Row 3.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Finishing

The loops from your final row will serve as the buttonholes. Check the fit of your buttons before sewing them in place. The buttons should slide through the loops easily but fit securely enough that they won’t slip back through. Line up the buttons along the beginning edge of the cowl, then sew them securely in place.
