Runnel Scarf & Cowl

CONSTRUCTION

• The scarf is knit on the bias from the centerline out, starting with a Provisional Cast On. The pattern is formed by decreases on one edge of the scarf to create trapezoids and triangles; stitches are then picked up along the edge to work on the direction. The provisionally cast-on edge is then picked up and the second half of the scarf is worked in a similar fashion.
• The cowl starts with a top-down triangle. Half of the triangle stitches are put on hold while the second half is worked in the same fashion as the scarf; the end of the scarf is then grafted to the held stitches to create a continuous loop.

GAUGE

Loft

• 24 stitches & 47 rows (23½ ridges) = 4" in garter stitch with Size A needle(s), after blocking

Peerie

• 24 stitches & 52 rows (26 ridges) = 4" in garter stitch with Size A needle(s), after blocking

NEEDLES

Size A (for Main Fabric)

• One pair of straight needles or a 32" circular needle* in size needed to obtain gauge listed
• Suggested Size: 3.75 mm (US 5)

Size B (for Applied I-Cord)

• One pair of double-pointed needles (DPNs), one size larger than Size A
• Suggested Size: 4 mm (US 6)

* Knitter’s preferred style of needle may be used for most pieces. A circular needle is required for the first triangle of the cowl due to the large number of stitches.
