Knit Of A Woman

Fast & Easy!!! So rich looking! Started as strips and wanted to braid them, but it worked out better like this. So I made two strips and sewed them together(don’t do it this way, do both colors together, see below). I did 2 colors, light gray and the other half dark gray.

Base:

Cast on 24 sts (12 in color A & 12 in color B. Knit in Seed st. 24-26". Twisting yarn in back with each color, so it becomes 1 piece.

Bind off.

Sew together the bind off edge with the cast on edge to form a ring. (7” wide).

Braid:Cast on 12 sts in Color A. Knit in stockinette till 25-27” ( you need to check length after twisting on seed part). Repeat with Color B.
Twist the two strips together. Don’t cast off till your sure the length is right. Twist a little tighter then needed. Attach twisted strips to form a ring and slip it on base. Sew seams under the other braid.
The strips will naturally curl because of the stockinette, which makes it perfect for this. It ends up looking like a cable.

Tack on the “braid” to the middle of seed st panel. Very easy to knit…….Not as easy to put together! Throw on the nearest neck!!!

Note The 2nd one is 2 shades of brown. Not sure which one I love more!!! Cocoon has amazing colors!
Going to add more photos of 3nd one, before I put it together.

Hope this is clear, any questions, just ask!
