Notes

Drop by….is exactly what this cowl did, before being scooped up by my daughter. If she knows what’s good for her, it wil be shared…

Cast on 200 sts to knit in the round, so each row instruction is repeated twice per round. Doing garter in the round isn’t hard to adapt. Added a set of dropped stitches at the 90 mark to even out the round, changed the dropped stitch patterns to even numbered groups of 10 for the second half and added an additional garter ridge in the middle and at the end of the pattern, making the pattern a 28-rnd repeat instead of 18. Enough yarn to have 3 repeats of the whole pattern, with maybe a meter of yarn left over.

The yarn is fabulous for this - super soft and thick/thin ranging from a heavy sport down to lace weight. Adds to the rustic look!
