Yarn: Lang Yarns Seta Tweed (75% Silk, 25% Cotton; 109 yards [100 meters]/25 grams); #804.0058 - two skeins (color A), & #804.0044 - one skein (color B)

Needles: One 16" circular needle in size US 5

Notions: Tapestry needle, stitch marker

Gauge: 20 stitches = 4 inches in stockinette

Let's make a cowl then! So, using your size US 5 circular needle and your color A yarn, cast on 110 stitches loosely, place marker, and join in round. Then we'll begin our edging pattern in one color as follows:

Edge Row 1: using color A, knit
Edge Row 2: using color A, * k1, p1; rep from *
Edge Row 3: using color A, knit
Edge Row 4: using color A, * p1, k1 *

Knit edge rows 1 - 4 three times. Then, we'll begin our main pattern, which incorporates our color B yarn. Notice that color B is woven only, never knit or purled. Also, I should mention that, while I used two skeins of my color A yarn, you could get away with just one and still have a serviceably-long cowl. :)

Rows 1 & 2: using color A, knit

Rows 3 & 4: using color B, * slip 1 with yarn in back (sl1 wyib), slip 1 with yarn in front (sl1 wyif) *

Rows 5 & 6: using color A, knit

Rows 7 & 8: using color B, * sl1 wyif, sl1 wyib *

Knit rows 1 - 8 until piece measures roughly 8" and you've just finished row 1 or row 5 of the pattern. Using color A, bind off loosely, tuck in ends, and block.
