Irish-ish Lace Cowl
Brenda K.B. AndersonThe Irish-ish Lace Cowl was inspired by the rich tradition of Irish Crochet Lace. Normally the flower and leaf motifs would be created first, and then joined together while the lace background is created. For this project, to keep things simple, the cowl is created first and the leaves and flowers are stitched to the lace fabric. Even with its bold color, modern silhouette, and modified construction method, the historical roots of this beautiful piece still shine through.

I just finished the cowl. I enjoyed the process.
I am making my second cowl, when I get to the decreasing rows I am not understanding what I am doing wrong - I already did one and it came out fine. But for some reason my rows are not decreasing. Please help.
When making the joins for the rounds, I found that I liked the look of a double crochet join instead of the treble crochet join, as it seams to blend in better.
I am unable to access this pattern and I have gold membership
I stitch too tight so do I use a larger hook?
Ie that left handed instruction!!?
