Materials
Approx 150 yrds worsted weight yarn (shown in Malabrigo Worsted- Colour: Azul Profundo)
US#8/5mm 16-inch circular
US#7/4.5mm 16-inch circular (can use a smaller 16 inch circular or scrap yarn. This is only used for holding the live sts whilst the grafting is being done)
Stitch Marker
Extra Stitch Markers (optional-for marking repeats of lace pattern)
Gauge
17.5 sts and 24 rows= 4 inches in Horseshoe lace measuring from the deepest point of the scallop for length.

lovely cowl - and in malabrigo no less - yum! thanks for providing the pattern! it's freezing in bergen at the moment so a cowl could actually come in handy ...
Great pattern. I purchased some beautiful soft homespun on Etsy...this would be a perfect pattern for the one skein I have.
If I ever get my hands on Malabrigo (never seen it in person) this is a good pattern for trying out the yarn.
Oooh...pretty! I love the photos.
I was just given a couple of these by a friend, hand-made in NZ, you can compare them when I see you in a couple of weeks!
Sweet! I always love old fashioned horseshoe lace what a clever twist on it, a great one skein wonder, thanks!
