Gemstone Dreams Cowl

This rich turquoise color and soft cloud-like baby alpaca blend combine to make a luxurious cowl. The worsted weight yarn allows it to knit up quickly, but with yarn this soft, that's not necessarily a good thing! 

I used two skeins of Knitpicks Reverie in Gemstone with size 10.5 circular needles. 

Co 108, join carefully without twisting. 

Row 1 and all odd rows: k across

Row 2: *k4, yo, skp, k3; rep from * to end

Row 4: *k2, k2tog, yo, k1, yo, skp, k2; rep from * to end

Row 6: *k1, yo, k2tog, k3, yo, skp, k1; rep from * to end

Row 8: * k2tog, yo, k5, yo, skp; rep from * to end 

Rep rows 1-8 until cowl is desired size. 

Bo loosely after a row 1. I used Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy. 

Fasten off, and weave in all remaining ends

This chevron pattern is super easy, and looks pretty with this baby alpaca yarn, despite being a little fuzzy. My finished cowl is 32" around and 17" wide. 

Enjoy this cowl!
