This version of the cowl I made is for those of you who cannot

find or cannot afford the necessary materials to make one. I will

tell you what I did, in hope that it helps you.

I couldnt find suittable yarn or needles in my town and it was

way over my budget to order them from USA (I live in Romania),

so I decided to make the cowl with what I had:

US 6 needles (4mm)

Yarn recicled from a pullover bought from the thrift shop.

This pattern can be adapted to all needle sizes and types of yarn.

LETS GET STARTED

The upper part of the cowl is made of some kind of yarn wrapped thick

strings. I found a tutorial very helpful and I have permission to share it

here.

I made this part following instructions from here:

http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/katniss-cowl-5

Or here:

http://engineeredcreations.wordpress.com/2013/12/26/katniss-cowl/

I strongly recommend you do this for the beginning, just the 2-3 strings,

depending on how you like it.

IMPORTANT: the longer one should be 1m long!! (100cm)

HERE IS MINE:

Part 2 is just a rectangle 1 m wide and 15 cm

high. Make it in herringbone stitch. Cast off.

PM = place marker M1= make one

k=knit WS = wrong side

p=purl RS = right side

Here is the tricky part. Cast on 90 stiches.

Row 1: k 2, PM, k 38, PM, k15, PM, k15, PM, k 20.

Row 2: p21, M1, p15,M1, p15, M1,p38, M1, p2; move markers on the

stiches you just knitted.

Row 3: * knit untill you reach marker, M1, repeat from *

And from now on you will make one everytime you reach a marker and

then move the marker to the new stich.

IMPORTANT:

The M1 on the drawing which says (only on WS) means that YOU

ONLY MAKE 1 ON THE WRONG SIDE , not on both sides. This

applyes just to that stich, every other stiches you M1 on both RS and

WS.

Make it untill the width reaches 30cm. Cast off.

I got it a bit wrong here because I did M1 on both

WS and RS, and I only should have on WS!!!

So dont make the same mistake like me! Pay attention!

THE ASSEMBLY

First sew part 1 and part 2 together. The longer string

and the cowl should both be 1m (100 cm) long.

After that, sew part 3 with the higher part in the front

and the lower part in the back. It should look like this :
