Notes for the Pattern:

Increasing and decreasing the pattern for the cowl which is made in the round. Always start with multiples of 3 plus 3.

For the Autumn Cowl I used: 3 x 12 = 36 plus 3 makes 39. This means you start with a chain of 39.

To make a smaller cowl circumference you can use 3 less stitches and start with 36.

To make it larger go up 3 and start with a chain of 42.

Instructions:

Note:

This cowl is made in the round so there is no seam to sew.

A shell is created when you do 3dc into one space or st.

I used two colours, you may customize your Autumn Cowl with multi- colour stripes if you like.

Colour A- Spice

Colour B- Grey

Start with Spice

Chain 39, slip stitch into first ch to form a loop. Make sure not to twist the yarn.

Round 1: Ch2, make 2 dc into the same ch (this acts as a 3dc shell), sk2 ch, make 3dc into the next ch, *sk2 ch, make 3dc into the next chain*, repeat between * and * to the end and join with a sl st to the top of the ch2. (there will be 13, 3dc shells)

Change to grey.

Round 2: Ch 3, make a 3dc shell into the next sp between the 3 dc shells from the previous round, make 3dc into each sp around to the last sp, make 2dc into the last sp and join to the top of the ch3 with a sl st (there will be 13, 3dc shells)

Change to spice

Change to grey
