CONSTRUCTION
This hooded cowl is worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up. It features an all-over, simple cable pattern. First, an i-cord is worked and its ends are grafted together to form a circle. Then, stitches are picked up from the i-cord and the cowl is worked in the round. The front stitches are put on hold and the hood is knitted flat. The hood is shaped by short rows and decreases. Finally, the hood edge is bound off using the I-Cord BO Method.
