The Art Of The Cowl

Lion Brand® LB Collection® Superwash Merino - LB Collection® Cashmere

GAUGE:

18 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st with 1 strand each of A and D held together. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

The Art Of The Cowl Reviewed by Betsy Curley on 2011-01-12 *****
Suggest using a self stripping yarn such as "Amazing" to achieve the same results and less expensive too-Nice pattern and easy.
