Pattern Specs
CONSTRUCTION
- The cowl is worked circularly, beginning with a Crocheted Provisional Cast On.
- The cowl has a slight funnel shape created by needle shaping (altering the finished width of the piece by changing the gauge). The outer fabric and the inner self-facing are each worked with two different needle sizes—three needle sizes are used altogether. The inner self-facing is worked slightly tighter so that it fits nicely inside the outer fabric.
- The live stitches at the end of the cowl are joined to the provisionally cast-on stitches at the beginning using Kitchener Stitch.
GAUGE
- 24 stitches & 28 rounds = 4” in pattern from Tessera Chart with Size A needle, after blocking
