Cowl & mitts with squishy texture

  • Charted
  • Written instructions for the chart-weary
  • Small Cowl: 150–200 m 4ply; 200–230 m DK Mitts: 150–200 ym 4ply; 130–140 m DK
  • Needles: you don’t need 5 different needles for just one cowl, obviously. The various sizes are for DK & 4ply Cowl & Mitts.
  • Lace pattern repeats over 12 sts and 8 rows (but is really a staggered 4-row pattern
  • Gauge/tension is approximate – 2 repeats (24 sts) of the lace pattern is roughly 11 cm (4 1/2 in)with DK and 9 cm (3 1/2 in) with 4ply
  • You can knit with yarn of different weight and change needles and number of repeats accordingly.
  • Don’t block! After washing, try instead to squish the fabric together to maintain smooshiness.
