A very simple and straightforward knit. Excellent pattern. With photos. I like photos. All patterns should have them! The finished cowl is wonderfully warm and cosy.

Only 40 stitches in the cowl. Used straight needles so when knitting the last row before binding off on the hood I stopped after I’d knitted half the stitches and inserted a spare needle from the other direction into the finished stitches and continued knitting with the original needles until the end of the row. Then I could bend the work in half and do the three-needle bind-off as in the pattern.

Timeline
2014-07-19: Test knitted and it looks like 5mm needles will work.
2014-07-20: Started on the cowl. This yarn is really lovely.
2014-07-21: Unraveled and restarted with only 40 stitches cast on. It will be too bulky otherwise.
2017-07-30: Knitting finished and blocking in progress. Probably not going to be dry by tomorrow, it’s far too humid. Since that’s quite boring it would have been nice to get it done during the craft afternoon but it doesn’t look like it.
2017-08-02: FINISHED!!! This is going to be wonderful to have when winter comes. It’s so cosy.
