Stitches Control

Garter stitch: 9 stitches x 19 rows = 9 x 10 cm;

Instructions

Cowl

Cast on 126 stitches with circular knitting needles, circle them in the ring and divide in the following way: * 9 stitches of garter stitch, 33 stitches of pattern with cables*; repeat from * to * x twice. Make purl2tog in the center of each area of garter stitch in the 14^th row = 123 stitches. For better fitting, make purl2tog in the appropriate areas of garter stitch in the upper part of the 108^th, 112^th, 116^th and 118^th circle rows. Bind off the rest 108 stitches in 63 cm = 120 circle rows from the set-up row.

Assembly

Fasten the upper and lower edges with 1 circle row of single crochets and 1 circle row of “shrimp stitch”.

Right Cuff

Cast on 24 stitches with double pointed knitting needles, circle them in the ring and place a marker at the beginning of the circle row. Make 1 circle row in the following way: * 3 stitches of garter stitch, 3 knit stitches*; repeat from * to * x 3 times, making the stitches of garter stitch as purls. Then, divide the stitches in the following way: 3 stitches of garter stitch and central 21 stitches of pattern with cables. Bind off 3^rd-5^th stitches in the 4^th circle row from the set-up row for the thumb hole and cast them on again in the next circle row. For widening, make 1 stitch due to the pattern from the transversal yarn in the 13^th, 17^th and 21^st circle rows before 3 stitches of garter stitch and in the 15^th and 19^th circle rows – after 3 stitches of garter stitch = 8 stitches of garter stitch or a total of 29 stitches. In 22 cm = 42 circle rows from the set-up row, bind off the stitches due to the pattern.

Left Cuff

Make in the same way as the right cuff, but bind off 23^rd, 24^th and 1^st stitches for the thumb hole.
