Notes

Fleurettes is a unique yarn that creates a beautiful fabric. One needs to take the time to position the loops twd the RS as you go. It takes a little time, but it’s worth it. There’s plain yarn space betw the loop clusters so there’s little poofs of loops here and there on your fabric. It’s not for a beginner, perhaps, but a little patience is all that’s needed.

Up a couple needle sizes since I carried three str of the fingering along with the fashion yarn and I wanted a looser fabric. The four str tog = bulky.

Worked st st vs garter st because it’s easier to keep the loops on one side. In this case, using the purl side as RS. Elected to work this one crosswise for a different look.

CO 90.

Added a few rows sc for button placement on one end and buttonholes on other.

The Great Lakes Long Cowl is not in the ravelry database. It’s essentially the same pattern as the Long Cowl which used a bulkier yarn.
