Notes

For my birthday I asked everyone in my immediate family to buy yarn for a project for each one of them. My husband likes the cowls (also called snoods) Jürgen Klopp wears. He is the manager of The Liverpool Football Club , hubby‘s favorite football or rather soccer club since he is from there soccer
”Bekloppt” on the other hand is a German word meaning “nutty, crazy”

Taking the difference in gauge into account, I cast on 114 sts in the stretchy German Twisted Cast on method.
This video took me through the method nice and slow:
German Twisted Cast on
I find her video to show the steps and recommend it although I am not at all happy that she calls it the Twisted German Cast on instead of the German Twisted Cast on.
Please note: it’s not the German who is twisted, but the cast on….laughing
In order not to waste any yarn by miscalculating the length of tail, I use both yarn ends ( from the inside and outside of the ball).
The yarn is soooo yummy hearts
Working k2, P1tbl throughout.

1.11. Didn’t have quite enough yarn left when doing the stretchy bind off, so I undid the bind off and tinked one row for the final bind off ( Jenny’s stretchy bind off).

Dimensions:
8.5“ tall
19” wide unstretched
28” wide stretched

So soft and warm. Came out perfectly.
