Double-Ended Tunisian Worked in the Round (see page 5)
Note: Since Cowl is worked in the round, you will need to complete 2 or more “passes” of picking up lps in order to make it all the way around. The instructions state total number of sts for each rnd, but work is completed in sections in order to make it around (see page 5). Pulling up lps is always done with skein A, and closing lps is always done with skein B.
Rnd 1:
A: With A and double-ended hook, ch 48, sk first ch, *insert hook in next ch, yo, pull lp through (leave lp on hook), rep from * across (48 lps on hook);
B: turn hook 180 degrees so back of work is facing, push lps to opposite end of hook, pull B through 1 lp on hook, with B, [yo, pull through 2 lps on hook] across until 1 lp rem on hook.
Note: When closing sts in 2 or more “passes,” always remember to leave last 3 or 4 sts on hook to maintain stability of lps.
Rnd 2:
A: Without twisting foundation ch, bring first st close to last st, [TFPS (see Stitch Glossary on page 33), TBPS (see Stitch Glossary on page 33)] around;
Note: Place st marker in first st; move marker up as work progresses.
B: turn hook 180 degrees, push lps to opposite end of hook, [yo, pull through 2 lps on hook] around.
Rnd 3:
A: [TFPS, TBPS] around;
B: turn hook 180 degrees, push lps to opposite end of hook, [yo, pull through 2 lps on hook] around.
Rnds 4–15: Rep rnd 3.
