Cashmere Cowl No. 2 - Lace Rib
We're having a bit of a Cashmere Cowl craze at the shop lately, so I thought I'd create one for myself. I'm known for knitting almost everything in either stockinette stitch or garter stitch (I am often asked, "don't you get bored??" The answer is NO, I do not get bored, in fact I love it!), but I decided it was time for me to make a something a little more complicated. I chose this Lace Rib stitch for my cowl because it was simple enough to be methodical and easily remembered, but created a beautifully detailed fabric. --Joelle

I don't see why not! This yarn has so much loft and body, it looks good in any stitch.
I am so in love with this cowl!
I am not a designer and I was wondering if you could help me with something.
I would like to make this but larger so it fits around my upper body, sorta like one side hanging on my shoulder and the other side down my other arm. I am going to use Noro Kochoran and a size 10 needle.
I have cast on 26 stitches and done a small swatch. I started with a garter stitch rib for 4 rounds then did 4 rows of the stitch pattern design, that measurement is...8.5" in length and 2" high.
How many would I have to cast on?
I would like it to fit someone with a size 36" bust line.
I understand if you cannot help, I just thought I would ask.
Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Beth
