This show-stopper cowl features beads, eyelets, drop stitches, butterflies, and garter stitch bands. It is knitted in the round, on size US6 16-inch circular needles, and takes 150-250 yards. Beads are optional, but if you choose to use beads, they are pre-stranded to achieve the look of the featured photos, and it takes up to 338 (depending on size), plus a bead per stitch, for the beaded bind off. The appropriate gauge is 6 stitches per inch, and 7 rounds per inch. It also features an optional beaded bind off.
There are two different versions of this cowl in the publication: The Jen and The MJ. The PDF includes pictures of blocking, which is key for highlighting the gorgeous drops, eyelets, and butterflies.
The pattern includes SEVEN sizes: toddler, school age, teen, adult small, medium, large, and extra large.
