Dodgy Cowl

Fast fun and squishy. Nearly instant knit-gratification.

Written Pattern using American English Terms and Abbreviations - Glossary and Metrics provided.

Advancing Beginner Skills: K, P, SSK, M1p, Basic Cables, Provisional CO.

Worked Flat on Bias – Seamed with Graft or 3 Needle BO
(if grafting, knowledge of creating both knit and purl)

Only 6 rows
WS are all the same
2 of the RS are the same and a single RS cable row

Easy Peasy for the more experienced BUT still interesting to knit as its worked on a bias. The k & p halves slope at a neat angle so it’s fun to watch unfold as you work. Also cool to have the seemingly angled garter edges come out being straight once joined.
