You should have 41 stitches on your needles. Is that where you're at?Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-31242057200964994272015-10-15T06:59:13.698-07:002015-10-15T06:59:13.698-07:00Please help!

If you want to do them, though, you are knitting and purling the first five stitches, wrapping and turning, and then knitting and purling the same five stitches back to the beginning of the row (and then repeating the process with different numbers of stitches). You will not work a full row until you finish all of your short rows (this will give you a little bend in the work). Does that make sense?Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-81807186191083494272015-01-06T23:28:24.878-08:002015-01-06T23:28:24.878-08:00Hello Gretchen,

When completing the first short row as I understand the pattern, I am knitting and purling 5 stitches into the row then wrapping and turning my work. From there am I supposed to knit and purl the 5 stitches which would now be on the right needle, or do I knit and purl the rest of the row on the left needle? Also, when I wrap and turn, am I doing this twice per row? <br /><br />Thanks!

The peaches & cream is a tiny bit heavier gauge, if I'm not mistaken, but this pattern isn't too fussy about that.

I don't quite remember why I put buttons on it, but it was probably because I wasn't exactly sure how it was going to turn out when I started, and I wanted to make sure that it had an opening in case I chose to make it so short that it didn't fit over a person's head. Sometimes I also try to avoid seaming things because I'm lazy, but realistically buttons are more annoying than a seam. And finally, sometimes I realize that there was a better way to do something when I get to the end of the pattern, but if I change my instructions my image won't match the pattern. So probably one of those things...<br /><br />And I'm glad your cowl turned out nicely!Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-39092868446043958532013-11-25T14:40:07.499-08:002013-11-25T14:40:07.499-08:00I just finished knitting this and really liked the...I just finished knitting this and really liked the pattern and the good instructions. One question I had: Why the buttons? I knit this for my daughter and thought she might not like the chunkiness of the overlap and buttons at the back of her neck and and her long hair might get caught in the buttons, so I joined the ends.There was plenty of room to slip it easily over the head. I plan on knitting more of these cowls but will always join the ends. I solved my problem, but was just wondering why you decided on the buttons - decorative interest?Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04052558748458447437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-25240918888867386262013-07-28T10:52:57.400-07:002013-07-28T10:52:57.400-07:00I really like this one...I really like this one...HollyThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618220692462053602noreply@blogger.com
