Buttoned Bandanna Cowl
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®
GAUGE:
9 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS).
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.
STITCH EXPLANATION:
M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal thread lying between needles and placing it onto left needle. Knit this new stitch through the back loop - 1 st increased. kfb (knit in front and back) Knit next st without removing it from left needle, then k through back of same st - 1 st increased. pfb (purl into front and back) Purl next st without removing it from left needle, then p through back of same st - 1 st increased.
NOTES:
1. Cowl is worked from the bandanna point up. 2. Circular needle is used to accommodate the bulky sts. Work back and forth in rows on circular needle as if working on straight needles. 3. Buttonholes are worked with a crochet hook when Cowl has been completed.
COWL Cast on 1 st. Row 1 (RS): Kfb - 2 sts at the end of this row. Row 2: P1, pfb - 3 sts. Row 3: Knit. Row 4: Purl. Row 5: K1, *M1, k1; rep from * to end of row - 5 sts. Row 6 and all WS Rows: Purl. Row 7: K1, M1, k to last st, M1, k1 - 7 sts. Rep last 2 rows until there are 35 sts. End with a RS row. Note: End with a RS row means that the last row you work should be a RS row and the next row that you are ready to work will be a WS row. Bandanna triangle is now complete. Next Row (cast-on row): P to end of row, cast on 11 sts - 46 sts. Next Row (cast-on row): K to end of row, cast on 11 sts - 57 sts at the end of this row. Continue in St st (k on RS, p on WS) until straight sides measure about 8 in. (20.5 cm) from cast-on rows. Bind off, leaving last st on needle. Do not cut yarn.
