Checked by the engine

  • Cast-on counts 176 (208) are exact multiples of the 4-st rib and every chart repeat (4, 8, 16, 4 sts).
  • Every round uses at most 2 colours; longest float 7 sts, floats over 5 sts marked.
  • The second snowflake band starts 8 sts into the repeat, so the motifs sit between the ones below.
  • Finished circumference of at least 58 cm in every size, so the cowl passes over the head.
