Notes

Thank you PAKnitWit for letting me test your design! I enjoyed knitting every single stitch and couldn´t put the knitting down :)

The ribbing took 15 grams and consists of 10 rows. And each vertical repeat took 18 grams of yarn.
I wanted to use all the yarn up. Thankfully my math worked. In the end there was less than 1 gram leftover.

I casted-on 308 stitches, 5 horizontal extra repeats. Each repeat ads 14 stitches to the cast on. Or if you want a shorter cowl only take of 14 stitches from the cast-on.

The pattern
I tested the charted version and love that the symbols are big and clear to see. I highlighted each symbol in an other color (yay for my neon markers) and that made it easy for me to memorize the pattern after the first repeat. I only needed a glance at the beginning of the row, what made this a fast knit.

sari13 made a wonderful job dyeing this skein! The blue reminds me of the wonderful Adria in Croatia, where I spend my holidays <3

By the way
The unblocked cowl was already wonderful. The gentle waves really look like waves in the sea in this gorgeous colorway. I was sad and happy while blocking the cowl.


…:FÜR DEUTSCHE STRICKER/INNEN:…

Für das Pattern gibt es keine deutsche Übersetzung. Wer dank charts strickt, kann jedoch ganz leicht den Loopschal machen, vor allem bei dem wundervollem Muster :) Bei Fragen helfe ich gerne weiter!
