Riggies Cowl

Circumference: Approx. 20 (25)” / 51 (63.5) cm
Depth at Center Front: Approx. 14 (16 ½)” / 35.5 (42) cm
See note on gauge below.

Yarn
Approx. 200 (300) yds / 183 (275) m of fingering weight yarn.

shown in:
Jamieson’s Of Shetland Spindrift (100% Pure Shetland Wool; 115 yds / 105m per 25g ball)
Samples shown use:
Smaller Size- Sunglow + Mogit with Mimosa for front TNBO.
Larger Size- Burnt Ochre with Mint for front TNBO and Royal for Purled I Cord Bind off on neck edge.

Needles
US 6 / 4mm circular needle, 24” / 60 cm length (a second needle in the same size is needed for the Three Needle Bind Off).
Note: You can really use any length of the above needles as no stitches are joined for working in the round. I have listed a length I think is most comfortable for accommodating the number of stitches being worked at one time.

Notions
Scrap yarn to hold stitches, 2 split ring markers (to mark RS of knitting, scrap thread can also be used), tapestry needle for weaving in ends.

21 sts & 36 rows = 4” / 10cm worked flat over Garter Stitch on US 6 / 4mm needles.

Note On Gauge: Although gauge is important to aim for there is a lot of flexibility with this project as garter stitch has a lot of give in the fabric. The row gauge is what will determine the circumference of the cowl. The stitch gauge will determine the overall length. It will also make a difference what type of yarn you use. To more easily match the gauge and fabric shown here a woolly and lofty yarn, like Shetland wool, is recommended.
Smoother yarns will yield a different result in the fabric.
