Caterpillar Girl Cowl
Fun fast knit & guaranteed smile getter :)
Written and charted pattern with photo tutorial for pom-poms.
American English knitting terms - glossary provided.
US and Metric measurements.
Free support.
Advancing beginner skill level.
Striped (2 rounds each color) patterning with slip stitch caliper cables on stockinette background.
Worked bottom up in the round.
Due to the difference in row gauge between the slipped cables and the St st, it creates an almost gathered look – which reminded me of the undulating bodies of striped caterpillars.
Designed for self-striping yarns but any two high contrast colors work nicely.
