Notes

This test uses all three customization options!

  • I made the cowl wider by adding one extra 12-stitch repeat
  • I used a third contrast color for the ribbing, to add a pop of color (and to try to make sure I have enough black for the charts!)
  • I used some golden mohair from stash and duplicate stitch to add gold leaf-style illumination around the H. (Credit to my mom and test knitter pcoan for this wonderful idea!)

Please note that after testing, I updated the initial chart for H. If you would prefer this chart, please send me a message and I would be happy to send it to you!
