Jennifer! I love this! Thanks for sharing love all your designs.
ReplyDeleteYou're so welcome, thank you too! Was just on your site the other day, it looks lovely. :-)
Deletethanks i love all your designs .♥
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your sweet words! I really appreciate it!
DeleteJust a question: wouldn't rows 6 and 8 be purl to knit stockinette stitch? This is so cute, by the way. I'll certainly be knitting this for my girls this fall/winter. :)
ReplyDeleteIt would be if the cowl was knitted flat, but because it is knitted in the round, each round has to be knit on the circular needles in order to achieve the stockinette portion of the cowl.
DeleteThanks again! :-)
Just made your Bubblegum in a nice purple--and LOVE it!! I will be making 5 more to give out to my walking buddies--less than one hour to knit!
ReplyDeleteSounds great in purple! Your walking buddies will be so excited!!
DeleteLovely pattern but when I downloaded it, the toolbar it installed really messed up my computer and it has been a pain sorting it all out. Just thought you should know. GJ Wales
ReplyDeleteYes! Thanks for letting me know...I am working on removing the "print" button, it seems to be more trouble than it is worth. It just takes forever because I have to manually remove it from each post...sigh!
DeleteIn the meantime you could highlight the text that you need and right click with you mouse, hit copy, then paste it to a word document...that way you have only what you need and you can save it too...hope that helps!
It is so cute. I think I found the pattern for my holiday gifts.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Super fast for gifts, I made a few too!
DeleteI tried this with the yarn suggested and I came up way short. I am also a tight knitter.
ReplyDeleteI only made it through the first 4 rows of the 3rd repeat. I then tried to bind off and I ended up not having enough yarn. I will either have to frog the whole thing or buy another skein. Otherwise it was knitting up quickly.
Interesting, when I made mine it took exactly one skein, no leftovers. Good luck! :)
DeleteI also ran out of yarn. I CO 53 so there would not be a repeat in the seed section. I ended up only doing 3 stockinette stitch rows in between the seed rows and I had barely enough yard. I checked gauge and needle size. Maybe I got a bad skein?
DeleteI also ran out of yarn and had to make it a little bit smaller because of that. Here I bought 8 skeins of the yarn in different colors, planning to knit up a number of these. What do you suggest? Do you have any other patterns that would use one skein of this type of yarn? Help me please!!!
DeleteI did a little research and found that some of the prints and tweeds in the Hometown line have a different yardage than the solids. The solids measure 81 yards and the tweeds and prints measure only 64 yards.
DeleteMaybe it could be that? I updated the pattern above with a special note too for others making their yarn selections. I hope that helps!
Do you bind off using knit or purl stitch or the k1,p1 seed stitch.
ReplyDeleteI did this bind off using the knit stitch, you could also do it in seed, that would look great too!
DeleteI love this pattern a lot i was wondering if you have more cowl patterns
ReplyDeleteYes! Check out the "free knitting patterns" tab and the "free crochet patterns" tab. In knitting there is also the Spice Cowl and Strawberry Jam, and in crochet you can check out the Butternut Squash, the Key Lime, the Meringue, and the Cloudy Sky Mobius. Hope this helps you!
DeleteHi thank you for all your free patterns i really appreciate it because i started knitting When i was 9 and now i am 12 so it is nice to have free patterns if you no what i mean. i am going crazy over making hats i am just spouting then out it is really nice and i am also doing baby booties cowls scarfs and much more. I like making hats for little kids because i can do more cute things because some adults are plain jane. i am also making my one creation hats and selling then along with cowls so it's fun .I think knitting is the best hobby ever you can make things that you can use it gives you a sense of accomplishment it is also great to give a hat to little child as a gift or to their mom and it is so nice to see them so happy or the twinkle in their eye it does me so good.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, thanks for your kind comment!
DeleteAny chance you have this pattern written to knit flat???
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same thing, I have not yet mastered knitting in the round!! :(
DeleteThat is a great idea! I will work it up and post it tomorrow so you will both have it, that way there will be a version of each. Thanks for your comments!
DeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteIf I wanted to cast on 108 to make it more like an infinity scarf, would that work?
ReplyDeleteI think it might, it would roughly double the circumference of the cowl...try measuring with a tape measure the doubled circumference size around the neck and see if that size works for you...I'll play around with it too and let you know what I come up with. :)
DeleteWill casting on this many stitches fit on a standard straight needle with a bulky yarn?
ReplyDeleteIt would if your needles are long enough, I definitely wouldn't recommend using anything too short, as the stitches would want to jump off the edge. I would lean toward using a 14 inch length.
DeleteYes I would also like to try and knit it as an infinity scarf, and wondering how many stiches I should use? Many thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'll try a few things and let you know what I come up with...I'll be sure to let you know! :)
