Knitting symbol explanations for the charts can be found on page 23.
Circumference: 21.7 in (55 cm) Length: 23.6 in (60 cm)
- Lanartus Baby Alpaca Lace (100% alpaca; 874 yd/800 m per 3.5 oz/100 g); 2 skeins (1.75 oz/50 g each) #501 Ecru (approx. 601 yd/550 m, 2.4 oz/68 g needed)
- Circular knitting needle, US size 6 to 8 (4.0 to 5.0 mm)
- Crochet hook in the same size
The Tubular Cowl is worked in one piece in the round and can be worn as a head covering or a neck warmer.
Work the gauge swatch in back-and-forth rows with turning. Cast on 26 stitches, and work from Gauge Swatch Chart. Only RS rows are shown in the chart. In WS rows, purl all stitches and yarn overs. After Row 32, bind off all stitches loosely.
Wash the gauge swatch, and let it dry spread out flat. When dry, measure the width of the swatch. The section from stitch #13 through stitch #24 (denoted by arrows under the chart) should measure 2 in (5 cm) in width.
IF THE WIDTH DOES NOT MATCH OR A DIFFERENT WIDTH IS NEEDED
Adjust by using a smaller or larger needle size. However, if you like the stitch definition the original needle size gives and would like to keep it, you need to calculate a different stitch count.
EXAMPLE
The circumference should be approx. 23.6 in (60 cm).
Your gauge swatch from stitch #13 through #24 had 2.2 in (5.5 cm).
23.6 in (60 cm)/2.2 in (5.5 cm) = 10.7 (10.9), rounded up to 11
11 x 2.2 in (5.5 cm) = 24.2 in (60.5 cm)
One widthwise pattern repeat will have 12 stitches.
11 x 12 stitches = 132 stitches
Cast on 144 stitches, and join in the round. Continue from Tubular Cowl Chart.
In every other round, knit all stitches.
Work from Tubular Cowl Chart.
In the chart, 12 stitches are shown; repeat these as often as the stitch count permits.
The framed area (Rounds 3 through 30) shows the heightwise pattern repeat; repeat it to the desired length.
In Round 35, bind off all stitches loosely.
Finish the Tubular Cowl by adding a round of crocheted picots at both ends. For this, work 1 single crochet, chain 3, and again 1 single crochet into each yarn over from Rounds 1 and 33.
After the ends have been woven in, soak the Tubular Cowl in lukewarm water, gently press out excess water, and pull it into the finished shape.

One size fits most.
- Bunny Light from Filace by Birgit Freyer (50% wool, 25% alpaca, 25% acrylic; 504 yd/460 m per 3.5 oz/100 g); 4 skeins (1.75 oz/50 g each) Panna (approx. 875 yd/800 m, 6.14 oz/174 g needed)
- Knitting needles, size US 6 or 7 (4.0 to 4.5 mm)
- Crochet hook in the same size
For this pattern, a gauge swatch is not necessary.
For Option 3, a longer Rectangle is knitted. The arrow in the schematic shows the direction of work. This Rectangle is approx. 23.6 x 51.2 in (60 x 130 cm). The Rectangle is later partially seamed as described in the Finishing section.
Cast on 103 stitches.
Work the beginning as for Option 1, but work the widthwise pattern repeat 5 times across. During the Middle Part, repeat Rows 27 through 56 until a length of approx. 47.2 in (120 cm) has been reached. Work the end as for Option 1 again (see page 78).
Sew the narrow end of the Rectangle to part of the long side as shown. The dashed lines indicate how to sew the edges together.
Finish the neckline by adding a crocheted edging of 1 round single crochet and 1 round reverse single crochet. After the ends have been woven in, soak the Poncho in lukewarm water, press out excess water, and block it to shape.
PLEASE NOTE
Work the Poncho from the same knitting charts as Suyala Scarf; see pages 74 and 76.
Yarns come in different weights and fiber compositions. When judging the thickness of a yarn (from super fine to bulky), yardage per weight is a good point for orientation. Yardage in this book is given in yards per 3.5 ounces (meters per 100 grams). Yarns with less yardage are generally thicker. The higher the yardage, the thinner the yarn will be. Yarns with a high yardage are very fine.
Knitting openwork designs with very fine yarns is often called lace knitting. Yarns suitable for lace knitting have a yardage of 547 to 1,094 yards (500 to 1,000 meters) per 3.5 ounces (100 grams). Finer yarns produce an especially fine stitch definition. Working with them requires more knitting experience.
| Yarn weight | Yardage per 3.5 oz (100 g) | Note |
| Fingering weight | up to 547 yd (500 m) | very suitable for beginners |
| Lace weight | 547 yd (500 m) to 1,094 yd (1,000 m) | |
| Cobweb | more than 1,094 yd (1,000 m) | not suitable for beginners |
Yarn can be composed of manmade, plant-based, or animal-derived fibers, as well as blends of these. For the finished item to be easily blockable and keep its shape later, the yarn should contain at least 75 percent natural fibers.
Unique among yarns are hairy yarns, such as mohair or brushed alpaca. In fabric knitted from these yarns, protruding hairs fill in the room between stitches, which creates a unique stitch definition and makes it possible to knit them at a looser gauge in a loftier way.
