Notes

I love knitting these cowls

Got to use up stash wool

Tip for chart A

WS - Work to the last stitch, YO, work the last stitch as pattern.

RS - work the 1st stitch, drop YO, then work the M1R with the dropped YO, this makes the M1R easier to knit and it gives a little bit of extra wool all the way up the bias edge.

16th April - progress on this cowl

I got upto chart C and the colours were all Purple, Blue and with a little grape shade, the other colours started to come through, rust, grey, green and looked odd, so I wound those colours off the ball and when I got back to Purple started to add that, I just hope there is enough Purple, Blue, Grape to finish this cowl.

Knitted chart D with the Aqua Lace held double

Finished and having a soak

Blocked to
Top width - 21” (53cm)

My cowls come out a snug fit, but I am a tight knitter.
