      Pattern Services and Revisions

      If you are an Annie’s customer and have a question about the instructions on a pattern you have purchased, please visit:

      http://www.anniescatalog.com/pages/customer_care/pattern_services.html

      This is not your average stitch dictionary! We offer 6 cowls and 50 stitch patterns that give you unlimited options to inspire and excite you for years to come. We promise you’ll never make the same cowl twice!

      Most stitch dictionaries are a collection of stitch patterns—beautiful and fun to look through, but not necessarily useful as a guide on how to use the stitches presented. This book offers a clever new take on the timeless tradition of stitch dictionaries. This compilation doesn’t just provide stitch patterns; it’s designed to easily show you how to use them to create a cowl that suits your personal style.

      Maybe you like the look of the Roman Stripe Moebius cowl, but you would like to make it in a different stitch pattern. Look for another pattern with the reversible symbol, which tells you that the pattern will be the same on both sides. You’ll also find that some patterns allow you to offset the differences in stitch gauge by working a few rows of ribbing in between each patterned square.

      We hope that this collection of stitch patterns and cowls will expand your knitting repertoire to help you find a new sense of creativity and confidence!

      Look for this symbol to find stitch patterns that are the same on both sides.

      Build Your Own Cowl

      Whether you have a cowl shape in mind, a couple of skeins to use up, or a cool stitch pattern to try, the design process starts with three elements: shape, yarn and a stitch pattern.

      Shape

      Deep or shallow, narrow or wide, multiple or single wrap, with a twist or without, hug the shoulders or hug the neck—the options for cowl shapes are endless. Browse Pinterest, look at magazines, search Ravelry, and of course, look through the patterns in this book!

      Scribble down the measurements (length and width, depth and circumference) of shapes you like. Use something you already own as a template, or hold a tape measure to your body in front of a mirror to see what works for you.

      Yarn

      Cowls are a wonderful way to use up an extra ball or two in your stash. But like scarves, they can use more yarn than you think. A close-fitting neck warmer can take as little as 100 yards (if using big lacy stitches!), while a long, wide infinity scarf can take as much 800 (or more, if knitting cable patterns).

      Check how many yards you have of your chosen yarn and compare it to the requirements of similar projects. Leave yourself some wiggle room so you don’t run out of yarn, measuring your project as you knit it to double-check. If you have two balls of yarn and your fabric measures 8 inches after using up the first ball, you will run out of yarn before finishing the 20-inch cowl that you planned. Have a backup plan; you could shorten the piece, work an edging in a contrasting-color yarn, or rip back and make your fabric narrower.
