Venture into the world of tuck stitches. Eline is a chance to do exactly that. It´s an easy but fun design, offering an opportunity to learn a new technique and end up with a beautiful and squishy winter wardrobe stable as your reward.
This technique will be familiar if you have already done brioche knitting before.

PATTERN NOTES:

The cowl is worked sideways in the round as a tube. Starting with a provisional cast-on it is worked throughout in quadruple tuck stitch pattern.
Two subtle color stripes are added by changing the contrast color in this section.
At the end the live stitches are joined to the stitches from the provisional cast-on using the Kitchener stitch technique.
