Notes

Ms. Caitlin is a knit rock star.
She is very generous to offer this lovely design for free.
She has many other fabulous designs for free and others, just as amazing for a nominal cost.

The only US 35 circular I could get locally was US 36 20.0 mm 47”. Close enough.
One could work this design in the round with 47” circular quite easily.

Worked flat and placed buttons.
I work cowls flat as often as I can.
People like them very much.

The designer stated that the stitches are big enough for buttons without button holes. That’s true. Very nice.

My actual gauge was 5 st / 4”, so CO 55.
Rib is 5x5, so need multiples of five
Added sc edge st on short ends.

Love projects with Dinosaur Bone sized needles.
Working 4 str tog: one Ultimo, one Classic Worsted, two Simply Soft Party.
