Instructions
Cowl
Cast on 152 stitches with circular needle size 3.5 mm.
Knit one row back.
Insert a stitch marker and join the piece.
Work 8 cm rib 2 garter, 2 purl.
Work 8 cm stocking stitch.
Work 8 cm rib 2 garter, 2 purl.
On last row turn piece and cast off from the wrong side. Loosely cast off in garter stitch.
Tip: Cast off tip: If necessary increase the size of the needle, here to 4, so that it is easier to get a neat and even cast off.
Fasten ends - and remember to gather the small openings on first and last row.
Hat
Cast on 140 stitches with circular needle size 3.5 mm.
Knit one row back.
Insert a stitch marker and join the piece.
Work 8 cm rib 2 garter, 2 purl.

Now begin the decreases:
Knit one round in garter.
Knit 1 round as follows: 1 garter, 2 garter together in the round.
Repeat these two rounds until 9 stitches remain. When the stitches can no longer be worked on circular needle, switch to double pointed needles.
Note: Not all rows end with 2 garter together, but this does not matter.
Break the yarn, put it on a needle and pull the needle through the 9 stitches and pull them together.
Fasten the ends - and remember to gather the small opening on the first row.
Have fun knitting.
