Abbreviations
k p yo yod
Directions
Cast on 120 stitches.
Tip: I prefer the Twisted German Cast On for its really stretchy structure. You want the edge of the cowl to be as stretchy and loose as the rest of it. There are great and easy to learn videos online, just google it. Join work and begin as follows: 1st round: \*k1, yo, p1, yo\* repeat this to the end of the round Tip: Take also the starting thread along for the knitting from the 2nd round on, i.e. knit with two threads until the starting thread has been woven into the work. This helps in the finishing; no need to hide the starting thread by needlework. 2nd round: \*k1, yod, p1, yod\* repeat to the end of the round Continue by alternating the rounds "1st" and "2nd" Leave at least 6 yards (6 meters) of yarn for the last round. Please note to make the last round really loosely! Last round: k2, pull the 1st knitted stitch over the later knitted stich \*k1, pull the earlier stich over the later one\* repeat until one stitch left: pull the yarn through. Weave the end into the work with needle. I wish you have fun and enjoy the lovely cowl !
