Candle Flame COWL By Julia Allen

Adapted from Dean Crane’s

archived Candle Flame Shawl

pattern to be knit in the round.

This pattern can easily be

adapted further for hats or socks!

Materials:

� ~150 yards Malabrigo

Worsted or other soft

merino worsted yarn

� US Size 7 (4.5mm) 16”

Knitting Needles

� Stitch marker

Gauge:

20 stitches and 30 rows over 4”

(10 cm) in candle flame pattern.

Exact gauge is not crucial, as the

pattern is very stretchy, and can

block to size.

Definitions for double increases and decreases:

• (K,YO,K) = double increase; K1, Yarn Over, K1 into the same stitch

• (Sl 2-k1-p2sso) = vertical double decrease; insert needle into 2nd and 1st stitches at once

as if to k 2 tog and slip both stitches from this position; knit next stitch, then pass the 2

slipped stitches together over the knit stitch.

Round 1: P2, K4, (Sl 2-k1-p2sso), K4, P2, (K, YO, K) repeat to end

Round 2: P2, K9, P2, K3 repeat to end
