You're new to the skills necessary to complete this project, or maybe you've tried them just once or twice before.
Step 1 |
Project Note: The number of Skeins needed to complete this project is 2 - Loops & Threads® Lush Alpaca™ Yarn – Dark Green FINISHED MEASUREMENTS Circumference: 18" at neck edge; 32" at shoulder Length: 15" GAUGE: 10 sts x 44 rows = 4" over cable pattern with larger needle; save time and check your gauge. STITCH GUIDE 2/2 LC – 2/2 Left Cross – Slip 2 sts to cable needle, hold to front, k2; k2 from cable needle 2/2 RC – 2/2 Right Cross – Slip 2 sts to cable needle, hold to back, k2; k2 from cable needle PATTERN NOTES Cowl is worked from the neck edge to the shoulders, increasing in circumference as it is worked. Switch to 29” circular needle as soon as there are enough sts to do so. |
