Beads sparkle like tears running down the textured reverse stockinette
and beaded picot edging of the Teardrops Cowl by Nina Machlin Dayton. In either
a smaller or larger circumference, this cowl will add a little bit of glamour
to your winter while keeping you warm and toasty. The cowl is knit in the round
from the bottom up. The lace and bead pattern is charted and written out.
