Thinking of You Cowl
By Kirsten Kwasney Gauge: 18.0 sts = 4inches
Materials:
1 ball of 197 yards of a worsted weight yarn. 1 suggested Lion Brand wool ease. 32in U.S. size 8 ( 5.0mm) circular knitting needles Tape measure Lets get started! CO 83st using the long tail method. Join & divide stitches on your needle so it is in the magic loop method. RND 1: K all sts, place marker on first stitch. RND 2: K1, P1 for 1 1/2 inches from cast on edge = 8 rows. Basket Pattern Rows: RND 1: K4,P4 till end of the round. Repeat RND 1 for3rows RND 2: P4,K4. Repeat RND 2 for 3 rows.
Repeat these 2 rounds till your cowl measures 5inches from cast on edge. After you are done with the basket weaved pattern you will start the K1, P1 for 1 1/2 inches =8rows. Cast off, weave in your ends and BLOcK! Send this cowl to a charity or you can knit it for yourself! =)
When you are done, you can wear this cowl around your neck or you can put it on your head as you see here in this picture. =) For this cowl, I was inspired by a charity. It is great to give to cancer patients or basically to anyone. This cowl will keep you warm for cold winter nights and or if you are giving it to a cancer patient it will keep them warm andtoasty aswell.=) So, I hope you knit this cowl for someone or for some charity. That would be awesome and I know that the patients will really enjoy it! =)
