PATTERN NOTES
This little cowl proves that great things come in small packages. This design combines the classic point of a handkerchief with the ease of an infinity cowl to create an infinitely wearable accessory. The texture of double seed stitch is balanced by the asymmetrical placement of a twisted stitch panel. An I-cord edging along the top paird with a picot edging along the bottom are the finishing touches that bring this piece together.

This cowl is knit from the top down in the round for the upper portion. Then the back half of stitches are bound-off, and the front kerchief point is shaped and knit flat.
