Jinlys is a very simple, yet elegant cowl. Starting with a provisional cast-on, it’s knitted flat on the bias until the final length is reached. Then both ends are invisibly grafted together.

Final measurements are approximately 15cm x 125cm, but you can easily vary this by either knitting more rows, so that the cowl becomes longer, or adding pattern repeats to each row so that the cowl becomes wider.

Skills needed are provisionally cast on, knit, purl, yo, pass stitches over, k2tog and graft.

While knitting itself is fairly easy the grafting is a bit harder, so all in all the difficulty is low up to intermediate.

Many thanks to FromMy2Hands2009, racoonims, carolBuz and MichaelaU for test knitting!
