a fun knit that results in a dramatic cowl or neckwarmer... could double the length or knit it half as long again and have an equally dramatic infinity scarf ?? any thoughts??

This is a complicated pattern for my level, but I want to try it. I'm confused about what happens after the first 4 rows of the pattern. Do I continue with Rows 5 and 6 of A,B,and C?

This is an intermediate pattern but it is well wrtitten so a new knitter can follow it easily, the instructions are written line by line so any knitter can complete the pattern if they follow the directions completely and carefully. My best suggestion for you is toead the pattern over many times until you can visualize what you'll be doing, you are using multiple instructions for each row and you may find stitch markers, lots of them helpful. Happy knitting.

I am really enjoying knitting this cowl. Since the pattern is informal, i.e. wandering vines, if I make a mistake, I just drift the vines back into place in later rows rather than rip out rows. I'm also deliberately adding bobbles where they're not supposed to be , and ignoring it when i forget to produce one where it's not supposed to be. I'm really enjoying using artistic license to create a beautiful wandering vines cowl. I think I'll knit several more in different colors and types of yarn.

Your name for this cowl in my email was "Milky Way" cowl. It has another name once you search for the pattern. I have seen this happen before, and it makes it harder for me to locate the pattern in the future.
