Notes

Knitted in the round.

Using the gray for the cast on and bind off, then the silver beaded Artyarn for the lacy middle.
I cord cast on and bind off.
Cast on 96 sts for 8 pattern repeats.
40 g left after one pattern repeat (24 rows).
20 g left after Second pattern repeat; makes me think I must have had more than 50 g in that skein!
10 g left after 2 1/2 repeats. I will do a full three repeats and the height will be about the same as in my sunshine cowl which I think is just about perfect with a nice drape.

A silky cowl for a springtime birthday.
I will have to wash the cowl in a vinegar rinse to try and set the color more. During knitting the yarn is leaving dye on the fingers where the yarn slips through. I wouldn’t want my friend’s neck get all black flushed
Otherwise coming along very nicely.
