Details:
2/9 – I’m testing this again in the larger size option.
I cast on last night and was just starting into the second color when I realized I did the ribbing wrong. :face_palm: Ripped it out and started over. Sigh. (Y’know, it’s a gift to be able to bork up a 2×2 rib. LOL)
2/11 – I’m only doing 15 chart repeats on this one instead of 17, just out of personal preference for height. I’m on the final ribbing now.
2/12 – Finished! Blocked measurements are 22″ circumference and 12″ length (which is curious since I eliminated two chart repeats but I got an extra inch in length over my first cowl where I did all of the repeats…row gauge is weird :})
This wider version is a much more comfortable fit for me! I expected it might be a little more drapey than it ended up, but I didn’t account for the thickness and stability from the stranding. That’s not a complaint. I love how it fits…snug enough to stay up without feeling like I’m being constricted.
