QI logo. Because QI!

Unblocked gauge over 4”:
26 sts
39 rows

Unblocked gauge over 1”:
6.5 sts
9.75 rows

Use qi-logo-edited.jpg chart with the extra 2 rows added.

Used this awesome double knitting cast on tutorial video by Sockmatician. Also learned how to kitchener double knitting from 1 needle using one of Sockmatician’s videos.

FYI, I really wanted to publish the pattern for this cowl, but I did some research on the BBC site and they have very stringent regulations on the use of any of their program logos for commercial use. It involved a lot of paperwork and applications, and I would only be able to use the logo for 6 months. So unfortunately I can’t make a pattern available which makes me sad because everyone needs a QI cowl! :(
