Notes

This turned out far more luscious than I could have dreamed!
And it’s HUGE, width-wise -- far wider than I expected, but perfect for pulling up on your head without having a gap around the loop around your neck.

The big skein of white, which I think is a Red Heart Super Saver in soft white (label lost) is almost pearlescent and softer than any SS I recall. Combined with the fluffy boucle, it is like tactile candy. I really don’t like acrylics anymore, but this project might woo me back.

US 10 needle. 56” tip to tip.
Cast on 170.

Followed general pattern as the gray cowl:
Row
1-6 knit worsted
7-13 purl boucle
14-15 knit worsted
21-27 purl worsted
28-35 knit boucle
35-41 purl worsted
42-48 knit worsted
49-51 purl boucle + worsted
bind off

Used Red Heart soft white and Bernat boucle white.
For gift:
“I have a teal (blusish/green) jacket, a navy blue jacket, and a tan corduroy jacket. Maybe you could find a neutral color that would work interchangeably with one or two of the jackets.”

Given to Linda 4/14/14.
