All funds raised from the sales of my patterns will be donated to the International Red Cross to help the Ukraine!

ALL prices have been raised to $5.00 US, even patterns which normally I have offered for free, and will remain at that price point until Putin and his minions GTF out of Ukraine.

A lovely soft cashmere cowl written and charted to suit any yarn weight from fingering to aran. It should accommodate most fibre types as well.

Printer friendly:
I have separated the charted instruction and the written instruction so that you may print only what you need. Photo’s need not be printed! :-)

Measurements: All 3 are 10”/25.5cm long
Fingering wt. = 19”/48 cm around the top, 30”/76 cm around the bottom.
DK wt. = 20”/51 cm around the top, 29”/73.5 cm around the bottom.
Aran wt. =21”/53 cm around the top, 32”/81 cm around the bottom.
Materials: 60 to 110 grams of yarn in your choice of weight. 150 to 220 yards depending on your yarn choice.
3.5mm to 5.5mm circular needles, needle size depends on your yarn choice.
Stitch markers
Small stitch holder (I use a safety pin.)
A matching size crochet hook is handy for the BO. (But not necessary.)

Gauge depends on your choice of yarn. The pattern repeat is 21 stitches and after casting on 4 repeats, 84 stitches, give it a measure. Cast on should be between 19”/48 cm to 21”/53 cm.(Give or take an inch/2.5 cm) If it is a lot less than 19”/48 cm cast on 21 stitches more and see how it looks. (BUT I am not exactly petite so an 18”/46 cm opening is too small for me, but maybe perfect for you?)
