Goldtau is knitted in the round and bottom up in one piece. Garter stitch makes for a squishy and comforting cowl that is wider at the base. A lacy mesh layer folds outwards to contrast nicely against a dark or light background.
Begin with the simplest cast on ever, the Winding Provisional Cast On that is stretchily bound off immediately. If you prefer you can use a conventional cast on of your choice just as long as has some give.
The garter rounds are worked back and forth with the help of a German short row turn; this allows for the entire base layer to be plainly knitted, eschewing all and any purls.
Of course, you may choose to knit plain garter rounds and forget about the short row turns!
Detailed photo tutorials guide you through the setup and the simple mesh stitch pattern.
This is a pattern in the Tuvstarr Collection (Ravelry link)
