CONSTRUCTION

• The cowl is worked circularly from the bottom up.

GAUGE

• 18 stitches & 21 rounds = 4″ in chart patterns with Size A/Size B needle, after blocking

NEEDLES

Size A (for Single-Color Rounds of Stockinette Stitch)

• One 24″ circular needle in size needed to obtain gauge listed
• Suggested Size: 5 mm (US 8)

Size B (for Two-Color Rounds of Chart Patterns)

• One 24″ circular needle, one size larger than Size A
• Suggested Size: 5½ mm (US 9)

Due to significant variance among knitters, your colorwork fabric should be swatched and wet-blocked prior to knitting your sweater to determine whether or not needle Size B should be larger, smaller or equal to Size A. Please read about Speed-Swatching for Circular Knitting (see Special Techniques).

Size C (for Ribbing)

• One 24″ circular needle, three sizes smaller than Size A
• Suggested Size: 3¾ mm (US 5)

Size D (optional; for Tubular Cast On and Bind Off only)

• One 24″ circular needle, one size smaller than Size C
• Suggested Size: 3½ mm (US 4)

Note: If you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On due to variance in individual work. You may wish to test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.

• 32″ [81.5 cm] circumference at bottom; 24″ [61 cm] circumference at top; 16″ [40.5 cm] length

Please note, the stitch patterns in this cowl are charted only.
