Florido from Manos del Uruguay is a beautiful cowl with an interesting construction. Using two contrasting colors of Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend this two layered cowl begins by knitting the outer lattice lace layer in the round. The lining is attached to the outside as the lining is knit. It is worked back and forth in garter stitch, with picked up stitches along both edges to attach it, and picked-up stitches periodically in the center to “tack” the inside and outside together
