Infinitely Striped Rib & Garter Cowl
Infinitely Striped Rib Garter Cowl
From the blogger: "This is a great stash buster. I used a dark purple/black yarn left over from something. I knew it wouldn't be enough on its own, so I added in a stripe pattern with another leftover yarn that had even less. The yarns need to be the same (or similar) weight and colors that you think coordinate together. It's also a good idea for the yarns to have the same care requirements. I'm pretty sure the yarns I used are synthetic or partly synthetic."
Knitting Needle Size7 or 4.5 mm
Yarn Weight(4) Medium Weight/Worsted Weight and Aran (16-20 stitches to 4 inches)
Materials List
- One skein or less of main color
- Yarn scraps of compatible yarn(s)
- Needles size 7 (or adjust for desired gage and yarn size)
Note: If you have enough yarn (I didn’t), you can make this longer to leave as a scarf. My design would have included a set of 16 rows of the pattern using color B on both ends of the scarf and then possibly fringe.

Using Color A (main color): cast on 20 stitches
-
Row 1: k across (last stitch knit to back)

I've asked the designer for clarification on the "kp" abbreviation on row 4, I suspect it may be a typo, but when we use so many abbreviations in knitting, I don't want to presume anything.
