Here’s a quick project to practice knitting on the bias. There are some eyelet rows to keep it interesting while learning how to maintain shape on the diagonal.

This is a high cowl worked in increasingly large cables. It blends solid warmth and a bit of medieval romance. A great project for hand spun.

This is a quick knit, good for using up leftovers. The gauge isn’t important in this pattern. Use a stretchy cast on and cast off and you’ll do fine.

Whelk stitch makes it sturdy, i-cord fringe makes it fun. Feeling topsy turvy? Wear it upside down and let the fringe spiral around your shoulders.

Errata: Start row 13 with K3 instead of K6 which will result in ending K3 as well. Makes a nicer finish.

This pattern is written for petites and easily lengthened for standard sizes. To stay in gauge, I went down one needle size when knitting the top front and top back as they are worked flat.

Links included in PDF for loose cast on and off methods. Optional color change at top of ribbing to show through cuff eyelets.

Errata: Start row 7 with K3 instead of K6 which will result in ending K3 as well. Makes a nicer finish.
