Notes

Finished on Sat. 22nd April 2023. I really enjoyed this! I’ll probably make another one for someone at some point (gifts? charity things? Christmas?).
Anyways, super fun, quick and easy test knit.
My only adaption was that I knit the first bit of the ribbing on straight needles to make it less fiddly rolling_on_the_floor_laughing

Answers to designers questions:
was the pattern clear to you? If not, what exactly was blurry?**

It was honestly one of the clearest patterns I’ve read in a long time! Everything made sense blush

what yarn did you use and what was the used amount? (if not mentioned this on your Ravelry project)**

I used Erika Knight Yarns British Blue Wool (linked above as a yarn) for the MC and for the CC I used West Yorkshire Spinners Wild Shetland (also linked above. Altogether, I used 67 grams (I did the medium size btw) which is quite a bit less than recommended! So that is 161.47 yards (if my maths is correct laughing).

what are the measurement of your cowl?**

My cowl measured 26cm tall (worth bearing in mind that I added an extra repeat!) And in total 48cm wide.

did you provide any changes in the pattern? if yes, what were these the changes and did you want to provide them?**

The only change I made was that I added an extra repeat in height, as I wanted a warmer cowl blush

what suggestions or advice do you have regarding this pattern?**

Honestly, I wouldn’t change anything about it! It was so well written, and I particularly enjoyed learning the Icelandic bind off! grin
