Yay! I finally used my knitting machine again! I made this cowl/headband with some Caron Simply Soft on a size 3 key plate. It is stockinette with some dropped stitches. In binding off I dropped every fourth stitch or so. This made some nice stripes through the work, but they tend to pull apart a bit. Basically dropping the stitches just loosened up the work so it doesn’t curl so badly. I love adding buttons to my projects!
