WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

• How to manage tension to create soft fabric with thinner yarn and a large hook

• How to use pattern stitches in the context of a project pattern, to create a soft cowl and wrist warmers set

• How to recognize and manage “color pooling” in multi-colored yarns

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

YARN

• 450 yds of sock/fingering weight yarn

• Shown: Cascade Heritage 150 Paints (75% Merino wool, 25% Nylon, 150g/492 yds). color 9804, 1 skein

HOOKS

• F or G (3.75 or 4.25 mm)

• H and J (5 and 6 mm)

NOTIONS

• Large-eyed needle

• Stitch markers (1 necessary, up to 5 optional)

FINISHED SIZE

• Cowl is one size, 141/2" wide, 30" circumference (37 × 17 cm)

• Wrist warmers in two sizes: S/M fits wrist up to 61/2" (16.5 cm) measured 1" (2.5 cm) above wrist bone. M/L fits wrist up to 91/2" (24 cm) measured 1" (2.5 cm) above wrist bone

GAUGE

• With F hook, in sc ribbing, 21 sts and 25 rows = 4" (10 cm)

• With G hook, in sc ribbing, 19 sts and 23 rows = 4" (10 cm)

• With H hook, in Stacked Shell pattern, 3 pattern repeats = 4" (10 cm), 5 rows = 3" (7.5 cm)

• With J hook, in V-stitch pattern, 6 V-sts = 41/2" (11.5 cm), 5 rows = 3" (7.5 cm)
