Directions
Notes:
- Right side of work is facing at all times.
- ‘Working yarn’ is held behind stitches throughout.
- Loops from working yarn are always pulled through stitches from back to front of work.
Count 64 loops for foundation row, noting yarn end is at far right and all loops are facing upwards. 1st row: Working from left to right, pull 65th loop (from ‘working yarn’) up through 64th loop (last loop of foundation row) from behind to create a knit stitch. Pull next loop from working yarn up through next loop of foundation row. Continue in this manner to end of row. Do not turn work. 64 stitches in row. 2nd row: Working from right to left, pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through last stitch worked on previous row. *Cross next stitch in front of 2nd stitch. Pull next loop from working yarn up from behind 1st crossed stitch. Pull next loop from working yarn up from behind 2nd crossed stitch. Rep from * to last stitch. Pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through last stitch. Do not turn. 3rd row: Working from left to right, pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through last stitch worked on previous row. *Pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through next stitch. Repeat from * across to end of row. Do not turn. Repeat 2nd and 3rd rows 6 times more.
Bind off row: Working in same direction as last row, pull 2nd stitch through first stitch. Pull 3rd stitch through 2nd stitch. Pull 4th stitch through 3rd stitch. Continue in this manner to end of row. Leave at least 15" [38 cm] of working yarn attached for seaming.
Seam: Fold Cowl in half lengthwise, with right sides facing. Pass next loop of working yarn through both layers of Cowl, working between first and 2nd stitch of each edge. Continue passing loops through both layers until you have reached the opposite edge. Working from top to bottom, pull 2nd stitch through first stitch. Pull 3rd stitch through 2nd stitch. Pull 4th stitch through 3rd stitch. Continue in this manner to end of seam. Cut last loop to create a yarn ‘tail’. Tie to secure and weave in ends.
