Hi Everyone!!

I want to show you a beautiful handmade from my friend. It just arrived last week. 
She is my University friend, and yes, she also an Architect. She is one of my close friend in Singapore when I worked there last year. Now she lives in Norway as a happy house wife :)

Gradation Cowl Knitting Pattern

Hi Everyone!!

Today I would like to share a new pattern with you. This pattern is very easy to make. My suggestion for making this pattern, use a gradation color yarn! ^^ It will look more unique and not too plain. For my scarf below, I am using Cotton Plus Color, this yarn has ivory, light brown and peach color. I found this lovely yarn on my last trip to Wiesbaden. Okay then, let's get started..


Skill level : Easy

1. Number of stitches : multiple of 5 + 8 extra
>> the number of vertical line (see picture below) is equal to the multiple number. 


2. The Formula :

- Row 1 : k6, *p1, k4 rep* at end k2

- Row 2 : k2, p4, *sl1 (wyib), p4 rep* at end k2

- Row 3 : k6, *sl1 (wyif), k4, rep* at end k2

- Row 4 : k2, p4, *sl1 (wyib), p4 rep* at end k2

How to read the code:
k  = knit
p  = purl
sl  = slip stitches without working
wyib = with yarn in back of work
wyif  = with yarn in front of work

3. Repeat row 1-4. That's all! ^^

I made two examples for this pattern. I am hoping to make an infinity scarf. I will give one of them to my friend who sent me a very lovely knitting needle map. I will upload her beautiful handwork on my next post.

I am using same yarn for both scarfs. I haven't finished with those scarfs. I will update this post at the time I finished my scarfs.

Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you enjoy this knitting free pattern and see you on my next post ;)

One more thing, I am sorry for my imperfect English, because English is not my native language, not even my second language, because I am an Indonesian who lives in Germany :)
