Out of this World Lattice Cowl

Materials:

• Bernat Cotton-ish By Vickie Howell in Cotton Gin, Jade Jersey, Coffee Filter (1/2 skein each)
• Hook: G/6, 4 mm

Abbreviations:
dc = double crochet
sc = single crochet
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
sk = skip
st = stitch

4 dc cl = double crochet cluster (Yarn over, insert hook into space, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook). Yarn over, and pull through 2 loops (2 loops remain). Repeat 3 more times. At end, there should be 5 loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through all 5 loops).

Instructions:

(Start with Cotton Gin)

ch 104 (or another multiple of 8)

Take chain, and twist it 1 time. Then, sl st to the first ch to form a ring

Round 1
(continue with Cotton Gin)
*ch 4
sk 3 ch
(sc, ch 1, sc)
4 dc cl in next ch
ch 4
sk 3 ch
(sc, ch 1, sc) in next ch
Repeat from * all the way around
End with ch 4, (sc ch 1) in very last ch, then work a sc in the first chain (where the round join is)
Fasten off (13 clover clusters total)

Note: With it being such a long chain, you might find that once you get to the end, you have an extra chain or two, or maybe one less chain. No worries - no need to frog the entire thing. Just finish off the row just like above - an extra few or a few less chains will not be noticeable!

Round 2
(using Jersey Jade)
sl st in any ch 1 space, ch 3 (counts as first dc)
5 dc in same space
*ch 2
2 sc in next 4 dc-cl (in the first ch of the cluster)
ch 2
6 dc in the next ch 1 sp
Repeat from * all the way around
End with 2 sc, ch 2, sl st to top of ch 4
Fasten off

Round 3
(switch back to Cotton Gin)
sl st in the middle of any shell (6 dc), and work a 4 dc-cl
*ch 4
(sc, ch 1, sc) in next sc space
ch 4
4 dc-cl in next shell space
Repeat from * all the way around
End with 4 dc-cl, ch 4
Join with sl st to the top of the ch 4
Fasten off

Rounds 4-11
(switch to Coffee Filter)
Repeat rounds 2-3
