I thought I didn’t have a 8mm needle, so I was going to use a 6.5 mm needle, but then found the 8mm one. I wanted to make sure it wouldn’t be super tight around my head and neck so I did an extra pattern repeat, adding 10 for my CO. So far looks very nice and going pretty quickly. Might be done by the end of the week, depending how much I work on it!

12.12.15: Finished and washed the cowl today. Trying to block out so the contrasting color shows when it’s being worn. We’ll see how that works out. I did 3.5 repeats of the pattern for 7 total rows of the contrasting color showing thru, plus I felt like it needed to be balanced with the same at the top as the bottom. Pixies to come later.

12.13.15: Done! Just added photos, including one from before being blocked to after. Such a big difference it made to block!

Measurements:
Pre-blocking: approx. 12” wide and 8” tall.
Post-blocking: 12” wide and 14” tall
