Description

Striated begins with a provisional cast-on, is knitted in rows using a simple, but striking faggot stitch and is edged with a chain selvedge. It is finished by grafting the two ends together, making the finished cowl seamless. It would make a great project for someone new to lace knitting.

Other details

This pattern is available in two versions: the standard one for those who knit right-handed and an alternative one written for those who knit left-handed. If you purchase the printed pattern and would like the pattern for knitting left-handed, please say so in your order notes at checkout.

Most of you knit right-handed, that is, your stitches move from the left-hand to the right-hand needle as you knit.

Some of you knit left-handed, that is, your stitches move from the right-hand to the left-hand needle as you knit.

If you are a left-handed knitter who knits right-handed, that is your stitches move from the left to right needle, you should use the pattern for knitting right-handed.
