Knitting this cute cowl for the third time. I’d say that this yarn is somewhere between sport and DK weight. It says weight “4” on the yarn label. I think that’s way off, and if you use the size 8 US needle suggested on the yarn label, the fabric would look very lacy. I followed the instructions for the worsted weight cowl (cast on 110 sts). This will be for a child, so I didn’t want it to be too large.

I cast on 110 sts and ended with 70 sts (5 sections - K13, K2tog or 14 x 5 = 70 sts). I decreased in only 3 of the stockinette sections, and I had 4 lace sections.

I used this provisional cast-on (crochet hook method).

I really love this yarn, but not the color combinations. Peach and red-violet just don’t go together, in my opinion. Therefore, I separate the colors and use them for different purposes. This cowl and cowl #2 were knitted using the same ball of yarn, and I have quite a bit left over.
