• Cowl is worked in the round, from the bottom up.
• Any time you are changing colors between rounds, be sure to pick the new color up from behind the old color, crossing the two colors over one another to prevent any holes.
• During the Garter-Rib sections you are free to carry yarns up loosely or cut leaving a 6" tail between color changes.
• For Chevron-Bobble section, you may follow the chart OR written directions.
