Cowl Instructions

Cast on: Using a long-tail cast on, cast on 150 stitches. Place a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round.

Join in the round: Join the round to work in the round, being careful not to twist the stitches.

Round 1-8: *K1, p1* repeat to the end of the round.

Main pattern:

Repeat the following 6 rows until desired length is reached:

Row 1: K1, *yo, k2tog* repeat to last stitch, k1.

Row 2-4: Knit all stitches.

Row 5: K2tog, *yo, k2tog* repeat to last stitch, k1.

Row 6: Knit all stitches.

Continue repeating rows 1-6 until the cowl measures approximately 6 inches from cast-on edge.

Finish: Knit 8 rounds in *K1, p1* ribbing. Bind off all stitches loosely in pattern.

Tentacle Edging Instructions

Once the cowl is complete, you will pick up stitches along the edge to create the tentacle edging. Use a crochet hook or knitting needle that is one size larger than the one used for the cowl.

Pick up stitches:

Starting at one end of the cowl, insert your crochet hook or knitting needle into the edge stitch and pick up a loop of yarn. Move to the next edge stitch and repeat until you have picked up 10 stitches.

Row 1: Knit all picked-up stitches.

Row 2: Purl all stitches.

Row 3: K2tog, *yo, k2tog* repeat to last stitch, k1.

Row 4: Knit all stitches.

Repeat rows 3 and 4 until the tentacle reaches the desired length. Bind off all stitches loosely in pattern.
