Jeweled Cowl

**Pattern updated** on June 4, 2011 with a tip: To avoid the beginning side of openwork looking stretched, I recommend you twist (=knit through the back loop) one stitch before doing/knitting the first yo every round. (Sample shown worked w/o twist.) Jeweled Cowl is knitted entirely in the round with some bead/lace work. If you are not familiar with how to knit with beads in crochet hook method, please see some tutorials available online. Or you might want to make a *beadless* version instead? **Pattern Clarification:** Round 2: Knit all, putting a bead on every skp st **(of previous round)** except the last one. (14 beads per round) ------------------------------------------------------------ Jeweled Cowl was born soon after Japan earthquake/tsunami on March 11, 2011.
