Notes

This cowl was made for my daughter.
Initially was knit long to be wrapped twice, but I kept it narrow as the fabric appeared stiff. It measuring at 44”x6”. After blocking it was 52”x6”, but it got much much softer. I decided to unpick the BO and a couple of finishing rows and continued to knit more. It got really boring at the end. It was blocked to 52”x11”.

I won’t be knitting the linen stitch any time soon :)

Oh, minor details - cast on 199 stitches and alternated skeins each row. I liked the wrong side of the cowl in this particular case and think the seam, or to be precise the place where the yarn was changed, is not that visible (you can see it on the last picture).
