Margareta Cowl

Margareta is the Italian name for Daisy and this cheerful flower has inspired many knitters. Here the corolla is made of bobbles enclosing a moss stitch circle on a background of reverse stockinette stitch. Worked in the round with an Italian cast on and bind off, the cowl starts and finishes with a 1/1 rib where the knitted stitches are twisted for a neat finish. The leaves are created by travelling knit stitches and the bobbles are a non-turn kind, very easy and satisfyingly plump. Dimensions: 62cm (24.5”) circumference and 21cm (8.5”) height. Suggested needles: 60cm (24”) circular needles, 3.75mm (US 5) or size needed to obtain gauge.
