NOTES

• This cowl is worked in the round beginning with a waste yarn provisional cast-on, then the ends are grafted together in pattern.

• The chart is worked using the stranded method. Always pick up the background color over the pattern color and pick up the pattern color from under the background color; this will prevent tangling. Keep floats loose. For floats longer than four stitches, tack stranded yarn on wrong side of work.
