A Tisket A Tasket - A Reversible Cowl

Written and charted.
US and Metric
Free support.

Jumbo yarn and big needles = Easy, fast knit.

Worked in the round, bottom up.

Totally reversible patterning - different on each side but equally appealing on both. To me, one side looks like half and half textured Easter eggs, the other the baskets to put them in. Hence the A Tisket A Tasket title.

Beginning Lace Skills - knit, purl, YO and p3tog,
Worked in an 8 round by 6 stitch repeat.

The edge is designed to curl under, just to the first line of the stitch repeat.

You can leave piece ‘as knit’ or block lightly.

Notes included for size adjustments.
