Cast On
Using the Ribbed Cable Cast On (also known and the Alternate Cable Cast On), cast on any number of odd stitches TO sUiT YoU. As long as you work both a knit and purl stitch, you will finish with an odld number, which allows you to concentrate on the size you want, rather than how many stitches you have - (+he slip stitch at +he start is your odd one). To see if the cowt will be large enough for you gently spread the stitches out around the neede and try it on . For a tight fit using the materials listed, I had 141 sts. For a looser or wrappable cowl cast on extra stitches. If you are wsing a thinner or thicker yarn just aoljust the number of stitches to suit the size you want. you use the same yarn and cast on more stitches, the cowt won't be as tal Note: Using the same instructions, but different yarns and neede sizes, you could create matching wristwarmers, headbanos, bracelets, and so on...
