I am not sure how to weave the twisted cord through the cowl. Please help me if you will.

I am also confused. You knit 35 stitches leave 2 on that needle, turn, slip 11 and knit the remaining? Your wool is back at the 2 stitches left before the turn. Makes no sense to me.

Knit 35 stitches, turn (means go back) so you will have 2 unworked stitches on the left needle,slip first stitch after the turn and knit to the end. There is no slip 11 anywhere in the pattern. Its short row shaping, meaning there will always be a few stitches unworked on the left hand needle until all the stitches are incorporated back into the pattern. when it says to knit a row, you knit the whole row. Hope this helps someone.

How do you knit 35 stitches and leave the balance of the stitches and go on to the next row (short rows)?
