The cowl is 26" around and 10" long meant to keep you warm and toasty through the cold winter months.The elongated stitches are made by wrapping the yarn over the needle several times then dropping them to the front in the next row and finishing off by picking them up several rows up.

Recommended skills: Advance Beginner
Measurements: 26” circumference, 10” long
Gauge: 4 stitches & 6 rows = 1”
Tools: U.S. size 8 or needed to obtain gauge
Yarn: Less than one skein of Red Heart in Aran (370 yds/7 oz) or similar yarn in worsted weight.

In other news I am emailing my first design submission to a magazine today. Hoping they will accept it, it has to do with this stitch. I'm 28 weeks pregnant today and it's kicking my butt with exhaustion. Only getting a few hours of sleep then waking up early doesn't help. That's why I'm only half here haha. I am super stoked about this pattern but not rested enough to talk about it right now. Maybe I'll go into more detail after a nap....
