Make-Along Concentration Levels:
Concentration levels are based on how much concentration you need to put into the pattern as you are working it. We have broken them out as the following:
- “Social” Knitter/Crocheter–This is a knitter/crocheter who might be working on the project at a knit club, watching TV or talking with family and friends while working. These clues are made up of stitches that are easy to remember the repeat and don’t require carrying the pattern with you.
- “Netflix and Chill” Knitter/Crocheter–This is a knitter/crocheter who might be watching something more detailed that they want to pay attention to but aren’t so involved in what they are doing that they don’t want to keep track of what they are working on. These clues will have slightly more detailed stitch patterns but you would still be able to hold a conversion, with one person, or watch a light TV program.
- “Smooth Jazz” Knitter/Crocheter–This is a knitter/crocheter who can have some noise in the background but not something that they need to focus on. When you listen to music, think smooth Jazz, you can hear the music but you don’t really need to be listening to the words to know what is going on. I use smooth Jazz because some Heavy Rock might not be the best thing for your nerves! These clues will have stitch patterns that are more beefy than the first two groups of clues and will require some thinking about.
- “Be Quiet, I’m Knitting/Crocheting” Knitter/Crocheter–This is a knitter/crocheter who will need to have a quite house so that they can count and make sure that they are following the stitch pattern correctly. These clues will have more complicated stitch patterns and will need more counting as you work them. You will need the most focus for these clues.

“Be Quite, I’m Knitting” Knitter Week Four Cowl Clue:
NOTE FROM MARLY 4/8/18: the stitch pattern below is the original stitch pattern that I wanted to use on this cowl. Late at night on April 6th there was some serious confusion in the FB Group regarding this pattern so I changed the stitch pattern completely last minute.
Well, even though I did a quick swatch of the stitch pattern before I wrote out the instructions and had no issue, I was recently told that the new stitch pattern I chose actually begins to GROW as you knit it past the second repeat! NOT GOOD! Not at all what I want!
UGHHHH, I was only trying to make the best out of it all and make thing easier for everybody but of course I keep running into nothing but problems at the end of this entire TOS! Does not make me happy at all and I’m sure it doesn’t make you happy either but there it is.
So, I am putting the originally intended stitch pattern back on this page! Trust me…I am so over all of this too!
Abbreviations
M3: Make 3 from 1 (increasing 2 sts). [K1, yo, k1] in next st.
K1 elongated: Knit a st wrapping yarn around needle twice. On next row drop the extra wrap from needle.
Inc1to5: Make 5 sts from 1. [(K1, p1) twice, k1] in next st.
