PATTERN NOTES
-
Cowl is worked in the round, from the bottom up.
-
Piece is worked straight with a decrease round prior to the ribbing. This taper allows the cowl to sit closely at the top of your neck and drape down.
-
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 pre- vent any holes.
