This cowl is worked in a form of modular knitting. The first section is worked lengthwise in checker stitch. The second is worked perpendicularly to the first in garter stitch, joined every other row with a decrease. Stitches are picked up along the edge of the garter stitch section for the third section, which is worked in checker stitch. Then another garter stitch section is worked, followed by a final checker section, which has buttonholes a few rows before binding off.

Beatrix Potter’s England

The young lady who drew and wrote stories of Peter Rabbit and his farmyard friends later married and became an activist for preserving the farmland of the Lake District of England. She bought up thousands of acres of land and raised Hardwick sheep on her working farms. After her death, her properties became part of the UK’s National Trust and the land today looks much as it does in Potter’s day.
