Lacy Cowl Knitting Pattern

Grand View Steinem Cowl Pattern and Gotland Yarn

This lovely lacy Steinem Cowl pattern, designed by Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton, knits up beautifully in our Gotland/Silk blend yarn. Use just one skein for an elegant cowl. The pattern is knit flat with lace work happening on both sides. It is the perfect pattern for beginner lace knitters or for someone wanting a quick, satisfying and elegant project. The pattern gauge is knit in our DK yarn but for a finer knit, you could use our fingering weight as well.

I first met Cornelia when she came to our farm with a knitting tour group. She was their knitting teacher and we immediately hit it off. Cornelia lives in the US half the year and Sweden the remainder of the year. She was thrilled to see Gotland sheep on our farm as she herself used to be a shepherd in Sweden. I immediately felt a kindred spirit had stepped onto my farm.

Cornelia has been a familiar name in the handknitting world since the mid-80’s. With 14 pattern books to her name and her own yarn line featuring silk yarns, she is perhaps best known for her innovative work in the adventurous yarns by Noro. Cornelia’s original stitch patterns often feature holes, cables and textures.

Join us in knitting this lovely little cowl and have a little piece of Gotland in your wardrobe!
