So, yesterday that Cascade Sheep made it over to Milford, PA and found a yarn shop - Jilldeal, Inc and a lovely cowl. The cowl was designed by Jilldeal to match the Eco Duo Slouch Hat designed by Betty Balcomb. The cowl only requires 1-2 skeins (depending on the length) of Eco Duo (70% undyed Baby Alpaca/30% undyed Merino Wool - 197 yds/100 g) Of course, the Cascade Sheep thinks it needs to have this cowl made..... Per Jilldeal, "This Cowl can be made in 2 lengths.... the original 33" finished....but can be made smaller is desirous of being closer to the neck with little drape. So smaller or large, you decide....." Abbreviations: YO - Yarn Over K2Tog - Knit 2 Together SSK - Slip, Slip, Knit Cast on 100 (130) stitches on a US 10 - 16" circular needle.
