Shawl Collar Cowl – Afternoon Session

Your Instructor: Becky Creighton

The Shawl Collar Cowl is soft, cozy and warm around your neck.  The ribbed exterior transitions into a smooth stockinette interior.  Folded over and wrapped around, you’ll be very warm but not weighted down when knit up in the nearly weightless Blue Sky Techno, a feather-light cloud of baby alpaca, extra-fine merino and silk.

This project begins with a provisional cast on and then knit decreasing on the sides to the lining.  Once you switch to the lining yarn you will be increasing with make one purl-wise stitches.  Finally you will use a three needle bind off to join the edges into the final wrap.  It’s definitely a different way to create the shape and will keep you engaged.
