Maybe in pairs of skeins of matching colors since there are only 50 grams per skein. But one skein is supposed to be enough for this. BUT, I increased it that little bit, so I might be buying another skein. We'll see.<br />Elise Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08657785234869089663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169278596535638200.post-74309570584605128712017-11-08T20:00:03.458-05:002017-11-08T20:00:03.458-05:00The cowls are going to be so pretty.

They are soft yet machine washable. I made my youngest grandson a sweater out of the Swish DK and he wore it often because it was soft.

But I've done a worsted hat on #9 and that had 90 stitches. So I suspect it's a snug fit. This is what eludes me on cowls. I want to design one. So I'm fooling around with how many to cast on. Try the bigger number, 20 more. That way you know it's big enough and I had the twist cable figured out for that one and it works, in case that's what you'd prefer. We're only talking about a few inches added. Let me know how it goes.Elise Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08657785234869089663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169278596535638200.post-31904447702729340732017-11-08T19:10:32.198-05:002017-11-08T19:10:32.198-05:00Thanks for the inspiration.
