This cowl was inspired by the "Totally biased" pattern. Mine does not have purl rows. Handspun is Mixed Bluefaced Leicester.
(edited to correct my "recipe"; thanks greenmtngirl for the note)
I followed this "recipe" until almost all the yarn was used up:
cast on 40 stitches for handspun sport to aran weight
row 1: k1, k1fb, k to last there stitches, k2tog, k1
row 2: k2, p36, k2
three needle bind off
Cast on. Carry on. Have a great weekend.
It's beautiful! I love that the stripes are biased! I'll keep this pattern in mind! I think it would look good on a man:)

DeleteWhat a gorgeous scarf, it is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Holly. This was a pleasant project...as knitting should be :-)
DeleteIt is lovely, and I always love to hear about people knitting with handspun!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you forgot a k2tog at the end of the first row of your recipe? It seems as if this version would just expand forever.
Thanks you for your kind words and pattern note; I've edited my post and even tried to give you credit. Do you spin? Let me know where can I check out your creations :=)
