The 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 stitch too tight so do I use a larger hook?
Yes- Jean you are correct. If your stitches are tighter than mine when you use the same hook, you should go up one (or more) hook sizes in order to get your stitches to look like mine.
Ie that left handed instruction!!?
