Calla Lily Cowl My three-year-old's opinion of the piece? "It looks like a funny one!" |
Oh, and before I forget - I recommend reading this pattern all the way through before you begin, since there are multiple pattern changes, as well as the initial increases and the finishing decreases.
Yarn: Cascade Yarns Sunseeker (47% Cotton, 48% Acrylic, 5% Metallic Yarn; 237 yards [217 meters]/100 grams); #10 Blue Turquoise - just one skein needed.
Needles: One set of double pointed needles in size 4, and a straight or circular needle in size 4 if you so desire (for when you're done knitting in the round)
I don't know why I take pictures of the balls. I guess I like to. |
Gauge: 24 stitches = 4 inches
So let's get started! To begin, cast on 3 stitches and divide evenly between 3 double pointed-needles, join in round. By convention, we're going to call the needle with the first stitch dpn 1, the needle with the second stitch dpn 2, and the needle with the third stitch dpn 3.
Row 1: Knit
