  • Hello Suzanne,
    this pattern is a wonderfully versatile and will look great in a variety of yarn weight. For using a different weight yarn then the pattern calls for, you will have to make a swatch in the desired yarn. Measure how many sts and rounds/rows are at the 4″by 4″, once you know the number, divide that by 4 and then multiply by the number of how large you wish to have the cowl. Once you have that number, you need to make sure it’s also a multiple of four to be able to work the broken rib pattern in the round.
    Have fun knitting and exploring.

    Hi Would this pattern work in something thinner than a bulky yarn?

  • Hello, I’ve volunteered to teach at our Senior Center both knit and crochet. I would like to know if I am allowed to print this pattern for my students. I was going to provide them with a free pattern and thought this one would be a great first project.
    If there is a different email address for this kind of question please send it to me.
    Thank you

      Hi Joannh, Of course! As long as you aren’t selling the pattern, this is totally fine. Enjoy!
