Notes

Using smaller needles 3.5mm.Just finished chart C and I knitted 2 extra repeats to get the neck width, at the moment it is 18” (46cm) but I will block it to 21” (53cm).

Both yarns are lovely and soft.

Starting the decreases today 01/06

I did start 2 of these cowls at the same time, swatching and I liked them both, so will finish the other one after this.

Measurments before and after blocking

Neck - 18” (46cm) - 21” (53cm)
Depth down the centre - 16” (41cm) - 17” (43cm)
Side seam - 6.75” (16.5cm) - 7” (18cm)

This is a lot smaller than the pattern measurments.
