NEEDLE: US size ​​5 (3.75mm) 20” (51 cm) circular needles or size needed to obtain gauge SKILL LEVEL: Adventurous Beginner: For knitters who are ready to learn new skills and stitch combinations. Skills include knitting in the round; slipping stitches; working k2tog decreases, yo (yarn overs), psso (passing slipped stitches over other stitches); and changing colors at the end of rounds. Notes from the Designer: Laconic: using or involving the use of a minimum of words, concise; the implication of richness of meaning or substance though brief. The Laconic cowl is exactly that, rich in color and texture, though exceedingly simple in construction and effort. This trapezoid-shaped, long cowl consists of a basic 1x1 ribbed edging, narrow stockinette sections, and wider patterned sections with the simplest of stitches. * Total approximate yds/m used for this sample: 662 yds/605 m (C1: 189 yds/173 m, C2: 154 yds/141 m, C3: 147 yds/134 m, and C4: 172 yds/157 m). * Stitches are slipped knit-wise. * Gauge is not critical but could affect the overall size, fit, and yardage. * Carry unused colors loosely on inside of work. Only break colors when directed, leaving a sufficiently long tail to weave in at finish (approximately 4”/10 cm). *Designed by Megan Dial* You'll receive a digital file only (instantly downloadable as a PDF) and won't be shipped anything.
