Hope Cowl

Textured Knits are not only stunning to look at, they offer Knitters something new almost each and every row. The stitch patterns for this cowl came from my desire to create something equal parts stunning and squishy, without being overly complicated. Each section of texture will leave you wanting to knit just one more row! **Construction** The cowl is worked flat beginning at one corner with a small amount of stitches. Increases and decreases are worked at either side to form the shaping of the cowl. After the piece is finished and blocked, the sides are seamed using Mattress Stitch. Both written and charted instructions have been provided. **Techniques Used** Knit, Purl, Slip Stitches, Cables, I-Cord Bindoff **Gauge** 21 sts x 40 rows = 4" in Garter Stitch. **Yarn and Yardage** Selah Yarn Co. 2-ply Dk 200yds / 183m per 3.5oz / 100g Main Color (MC) - 460yds / 8oz (421m / 230g) “pure White” Contrast Color 1 (CC1) - 60yds / 1oz (55m / 30g) “Grey” Contrast Color 2 (CC2) - 80yds / 1.4oz (73m / 40g) “Brown” **Needles and Notions** - US 5 / 3.75mm 32" circular needle, or size needed to obtain gauge - Darning needle **Additional Notes** - Included in the pattern are links to helpful video tutorials to explain any unfamiliar stitches or techniques referred to in the pattern. - This pattern has been professionally tech edited and test knit.
