Anacapa Island Cowl

The Anacapa Island cowl combines one of my favorite lace patterns, Print O' the Wave, with columns of an Aran lace round cable motif. Think kelp and sand dollars, or kelp and sea urchins! 

It's a fast, easy-wear-knit that would be a fabulous gift — if you don't simply keep it for yourself!
