INSTRUCTIONS
COWL Unwind all 6 balls of yarn.
Lay all strands out with ends together and fold them in half.
Holding the folded center of all 6 strands in one hand and following Diagram #1, tie strands into an overhand knot at center, leaving a 4 in.
(10 cm) loop.
With safety pins, secure knotted end of strands to a pinnable flat surface.
Arrange the strands in pairs.
Each strand shown on the diagram represents 2 strands of yarn - a pair.
Knots are worked with each pair of strands held together as one.
Following Diagram #2, arrange the pairs, 1-6, onto the flat surface.
The Cowl is made with both left and right hand basic double knots.
Follow Diagrams #3 and #4 for how to make a left hand basic knot, and Diagrams #5 and #6 for how to make a right hand basic knot.
Beginning on the left side with pair of strands 1, and following Diagram #7, loosely tie the first left hand double knot.
Knot pair 1 over and under pair 2.
Pull pair 1 to the left to gently tighten.
Repeat to make a double knot.
When knot is completed, move pair 1 over pair 2, moving pair 2 to the left.
For second knot, follow Diagram #8.
Knot pair 1 over and under pair 3.
Pull pair 1 to the left to gently tighten and repeat to make a double knot.
When second knot is completed, move pair 1 over pair 3, moving pair 3 to the left next to pair 2.
The next 3 knots are right hand basic double knots.
Beginning on the right side, and following Diagram #9, knot pair 6 over and under pair 5.
Pull pair 6 to the right to gently tighten and repeat to make a double knot.
When third knot is completed, move pair 6 over pair 5, moving pair 5 to the right.
For fourth knot, knot pair 6 over and under pair 4.
Pull pair 6 to the right to tighten and repeat to make a double knot.
When fourth knot is completed, move pair 6 over pair 4, moving pair 4 to the right next to pair 5.
Diagram #10 shows the current position of all pairs.
To complete the first row of knots, use a right hand basic knot to tie pair 6 over and under pair 1.
Pull pair 6 to the right to gently tighten and repeat to make a double knot.
When last knot is completed, move pair 6 over pair 1, moving pair 1 to the right next to pair 5.
