So, in the hope that this might help people who try to knit the cowl but at first cannot imagine how it will add up, here are photos of the first 5 sections. The marker around which a section has just been added, is pointed out with a red dot.
The first section is a left leaning section - knitted around the current marker 3.
The second section is a right-leaning section - knitted around the current marker 5.
The third section is a left-leaning edge section - knitted around the marker that was number 6 when the five-section-sequence was started, but is now the fifth marker. Please note also, that a new marker (left of the marker with the red dot) has been put on the needle.
The forth section is a right-leaning edge section - knitted around the first marker on the needle.
The fifth section is a left-leaning section - knitted around the only marker that hadn't been used in this five-section-sequence.
Please note,
- the new marker has been put on the needle because there were more than 10 stitches between the edge marker and the last pattern marker as well as
- that the marker that was the first (when the five-section-sequence began) has been remove because it had reached the edge marker.
