14.5 sts + 20 rnds = about 4 in. (10 cm) in St st worked in the rnd (knit
every rnd).
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.
STITCH EXPLANATIONS
M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal strand lying between needles and placing it onto the left-hand needle. Knit this new stitch through the back loop – 1 st increased. spp (slip 1, purl 1, pass slip st over) Slip 1 as if to purl, purl 1, pass slip stitch over purl stitch – 1 st decreased.
NOTES
- The Cowl is worked in one piece on a circular needle, beginning in the round and then changing to rows to work the shaping.
- A Vikkel braid is worked onto the Cowl.
- Two colors of yarn are used for the stranded colorwork shown on the chart.
- When working stranded colorwork, carry color, not in use across WS of the piece.
- When changing color, twist yarns to prevent holes from forming.
- When working from a chart, read all rnds from right to left.
