Memory Keeper
Accessibility: This pattern includes an additional digital pdf in an easy-to-read format. The easy-to-read format is written in 22 point sans serif font (Arial) in all black text, in a single column. It has no italics. All of the directions are fully written out, and fewer abbreviations are used. No charts are used for this version.
The double helix motif of the Memory Keeper cowl represents the stories and memories entrusted to us–shared so that they will not be forgotten.
The cowl is worked in the round, beginning and ending with 2 by 2 ribbing. The lines of each double helix are created with twisted stitches.
Pattern includes both charted and written instructions. Techniques required: knitting in the round, twisted stitches.
