GAUGE:

15 sts + 24 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Diagonal Lace pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the

materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4

in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger

size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:
Yo (yarn over)

An increase that also creates a small decorative hole (eyelet) in the fabric, worked as follows:

1. Bring yarn to front, between the needles.

2. Take yarn to back, over the right needle. This creates the new st. You are now ready to proceed

with the next st as instructed.

PATTERN STITCH

Diagonal Lace Pattern (over an even number of sts)

Row 1 (WS): Purl.

Row 2: K1, *yo, k2tog; rep from * to last st, k1.

Rep Rows 1 and 2 for Diagonal Lace pattern.

NOTES:

1. Cowl is worked back and forth in rows beg at longer lower edge.

2. Circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of sts. Work back and forth on circular

needle as if working on straight needles.

3. Hood portion of Cowl is shaped with short rows. Short rows are a way to add shaping to a piece

without changing the st count by increasing or decreasing. When working short rows, only part of a

row is knit before you turn the work. This gradually adds height to one section of the piece, while the

height of the other sections does not change.

4. Stitch markers are used to keep track of the ends of the short rows.

5. The Diagonal Lace pattern will cause the piece to slant diagonally. The top of hood short
