Pattern
Posted 1/30/2011 5:36pm by Eugene Wyatt.
I'm delighted to pay my stand staff with yarn as I did Perri whom you can meet Saturday afternoons in Union Square. Her cowl is knit from Violet #1 a color of which I have no more. But here is the pattern she used.
3 skeins of the worsted weight yarn are needed for this project, using size 8, 29" circular needles and a cable needle
Key: K = knit
P = purl
C12F = slip next 6 stitches onto a cable needle and bring to front, k6 and then k6 on cable needle
CO 192 Stitches, join to begin working in rounds
Rounds 1&2: Knit
Rounds 3&4: Purl
Rounds 5&6: Knit
Rounds 7&8: Purl
Rounds 9&10: P4. K12, repeat
Rounds 11&12: P4. C12F, repeat
Rounds 13-23: P4. K12, repeat
continue pattern of one row with P4, and C12F after every 10 rounds of P4. K12 until cabled section is approximately 8" in length, ending with a round of P4. C12F.
finish in the reverse of how you started, with 2 final rounds of P4. K12.
P 2 rounds
K 2 rounds
P 2 rounds
K 2 rounds
Cast off, and enjoy!
Perri is an experienced knitter—as you can see from how well she knit the cables of her warm cowl—if you have a knitting question come on in and ask Perri.
