I love stripes and colors. I love mixing stitches and styles.
This cowl contains it all.
It’s made of two colors, has stripes and lace panels between textural stitches.
The name is combo of my favorite color and a butterfly, because the lace looks like one.

Cowl is worked in the round. To avoid many yarn ends to weave, instead of cutting yarn after each stripe, cross yarn you’re not using at the moment with working yarn, at the beginning of next round.
