Autumn Bliss Cowl is worked from the top down, and uses short rows for its asymmetrical shape.  You can wear it either way, giving it versatility.  It’s a great way to learn or practice different short row techniques.  It’s also a quick knit!

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner

YARN: Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend (50g, 150y), 2 skeins, 50g/150yds per skein.

NEEDLES: US 6 (4mm) circular needles 24 and 32 in. in length, or size needed to achieve gauge.

GAUGE: 17 5/8 sts and 32 rows = 4in./10cm in stockinette st.  Stitch gauge is most important because this project uses 99% of each skein. Row gauge is less critical.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: Blocked dimensions: 29 in. (74 cm) circumference at top, 47 in. (119 cm) circumference around bottom and 9” deep.
