Knit Cowl Pattern | The 3-Hour, 1-Ball Cowl!

Fun! I made this super quick knit project while riding in the car last weekend. The basket weave pattern kept it interesting, and before I knew it, it was time to bind off. I used just one ball of Ironstone's bulky weight Harmony yarn - it's warm, wooly, and not at all scratchy.

The 3-Hour, 1-Ball Cowl Free Pattern

You will need:
Cast on 104 stitches. This project is worked in rounds, begin by joining round and be careful not to twist stitches.
Rounds 1-4:  *Knit 4, Purl 4.*  Repeat from * to * around.
Rounds 5-8:  *Purl 4, Knit 4.*  Repeat from * to * around.
Rounds 9-12:  *Knit 4, Purl 4.*  Repeat from * to * around.
Rounds 13-16:  *Purl 4, Knit 4.*  Repeat from * to * around.
Rounds 17-19:  *Knit 4, Purl 4.*  Repeat from * to * around.
Round 20: Bind off in established pattern.
Weave in yarn ends.

    1. Can you knit this using straight needles vs. the circular ones? And what does it mean to "begin by joining round"?

  7. Can you knit this on straight needles, if so does the pattern change (knits to purls)? I haven't quite mastered the circular needles yet.

  8. This looks like a lot of fun and I would love to make it except for the following two facts:

    1. I cannot purl.
    2. I cannot knit in the round.

    Because of these two issues listed above, there is a very limited selection of projects avaiable for me to make. Also because of my very limited resources, I have found that I cannot do many of the projects that I have found for free online. I can, however, decrease by knitting two together or k1, sl1, psso, or even basic cast off. I can also increase by simply casting on another stitch. Unfortunately, I cannot knit into the front and back of each stitch. If anyone finds any basic garter stitch patterns for something interesting, please let me know so I can check it out. Thanks so much.
