This beautiful catch-your-breath gorgesous beaded cowl design by Lily Go, called Poinsettia, started its life as a Mystery Knit Along.  Well, the mystery is over and the cowl revealed in full.  It is really a strikingly lovely piece!  

The Design

Here is what Lily writes: 

Poinsettia is a stunning cowl with a bold textural lace pattern with beads. It looks good in any weight of yarn. This cowl is in the round on a circular needle and requires no seaming or grafting. You can choose to knit with or without beads. Perfect gift for your love one or you can keep it for yourself.
Pattern includes charts and row by row written directions. If you would like to add beads to your cowl, instructions are included as to where to place the beads.

Yarn and Colorways 

Lily says that this lovely cowl can be knit in Fingering/DK/Worsted weight yarns.  What we offer on this page is a skein of beautiful fingering weight yarn from Madeline Tosh that we think will look awesome.

Below are her specifications for yardage needed for varying sizes:

Yardage needed for size 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8):
170 (200, 225, 250, 280, 310, 340, 370) meter / 185 (215, 245, 280, 310, 340, 370, 400) yards.

Finished measurements 1, (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8):
Circumference: 22 (26, 30, 33, 37, 41, 45, 49)” / 55 (65, 75, 85, 95, 105, 115, 125) cm

****

Each of our kits will give you one skein of Tosh Merino Light, 100% superwash merino wool, with 420 yards (384m) per 100g.  So you will have enough with one kit to knit any size you wish.  

*****

We offer two colorways to choose between: 

Gosia is a cool mix of hues.  It is a variegated colorway including orchid, navy, teal, indigo and black.  

Bittersweet combines some warm and some cool colors.  I see teal and black, along with amber and eggplant.  

Beads

Yes, beads are optional but we will be including them in each kit. Lily specifies for the sizes listed above 240 (280, 320, 360. 400, 440, 480, 520) pcs size 6 seed beads. 

Each kit will include 45g of size 6/0 beads which should give you roughly 540 beads, enough for any of the sizes.

If you have an idea or preference on color, tell me.  Otherwise I will choose for you.

Pattern

The kit will not automatically include the pattern nor has the cost of the pattern been factored in.

You can get the pattern directly as a PDF file of the pattern from Lily via her Ravelry web page. If that is how you would like to go, then set the "Pattern" drop-down menu to "No Pattern Needed." This is what you should do if you prefer your patterns in the Ravelry library.

Alternatively, if you would rather have a printed copy, please make sure the "Pattern" drop-down menu is set to that and we'll get that to you in your kit.

We also provide the pattern as a PDF if you choose that option.  (Note again, the pattern will not be saved in your Ravelry library but we'll make it available via earthfaire.com if you choose this option.)
