I find myself mesmerized when I look at the brilliant colors of the flickering flames of a fire. The Incendio Cowl was inspired by fire and my love of Harry Potter. The lace stitch pattern I chose for the body of the Incendio Cowl reminds me of the Incendio charm that was used to conjure a jet of flames to set things alight. I can still see Hermione using this spell to light Snape’s robes on fire to prevent him from the curse he was putting on Harry during the Quidditch game. Later on in the story, we find out that Snape was not the culprit at all! The garter and garter rib textured top and bottom borders bring out the depth of colors inspired by fire. Worked in a dk-weight yarn, the texture and large, bold stitch pattern offer a great first lace design for the adventurous beginner and will surely keep even the most experienced knitter entertained!
