Here is a video I did to help you with the Long Double Linen Chevron Stitch If you wish to hide your floats you could work a single crochet around the cowl or even do a blanket stitch but I don’t think it is necessary. ![]() Please note: I mentioned earlier that I left my floats on the sample as they looked just fine and I liked it. With wrong sides together join the working edge to the foundation chain with a slip stitch join. Last row: Ch 1, turn sc in first st, Ldc in skipped st one row below next ch, *sc in next st, Ldc in skipped st one row below next ch repeat from * across to last 2 sts, sc in last 2 sts finish off. ![]() You can carry the yarn up the side creating floats, or cut the yarn color each time and join a new ball of yarn. TIP: Since you are using two colors for this cowl the opposite color of yarn will be waiting for you at one end signaling that it is time to change colors. Continue to until desired length and work the last row. Repeat the last 2 rows for the pattern and changing colors every two rows. Next 2 rows:-Ch 2 (counts as first hdc), turn Ldc in dc below the next ch, ch 1, * skip next st, Ldc in dc one row below next ch, ch 1 repeat from * across to last 2 sts, skip last st, hdc in last st. Once you’ve decided how you will change colors you carry on in pattern which is SUPER SIMPLE! This method will create a float at each color change along the side that can be hidden with a little trim or leave as is like in the sample. This is my preferred method and it is the one I show you in the youtube video. Then continue on in pattern leaving the new old color just hanging out. You can change color to next color on last stitch of row, leave the old color hanging out and when it is time to rejoin with a new color float the old color up the side of the work to use it.This method will create a tail each color change that will need to be tucked in when finished. You can change color to next color on last stitch of row, cut the old color and when it is time to rejoin with a new color repeat the process.This method will create a tail for each color change that will need to be tucked in when finished.
