Emma's Cowl

Emma's cowl took me longer than anticipated to knit. I grew weary of the endless stockinette.

An earlier post can be seen here.

I saw a similar cowl on a Very Pink video, but the pattern was only available with a yarn purchase. Since I have a LOT of sock yarn in my stash, I did not want and need to purchase more.

I watched the video multiple times to get the basic idea of the pattern and then improvised.

Cast on 60 stitches with a provisional cast on.

Knit in a solid color for 8 inches and begin transition into the next color by knitting three rounds of the new color and then three rounds of the first color. I knit 11 stripes of each color and then knit a solid section with the second color. After eight inches of solid, I again transitioned to a third color alternating three rounds of the second and third color until I had 11 stripes of each. I continued in this manner until I had the length that I wanted. The last section I knit contained all three colors, three rounds each.

I put the provisional edge stitches on a needle and used the kitchener stitch to graft the two ends together for a seamless join.
