The Forget-Me-Not Cowl is a fair isle cowl worked in mini skeins against one background color. It begins with a provisional cast-on, and then the piece is worked in the round using the stranded colorwork technique. It is finished by grafting together with a moebius twist for maximum coziness!

The Faye Cowl is a one-piece cowl that is knitted in two parts: the outside first, on larger needles, and then the inside second, on smaller. There are separate charts for the inside and outside of the cowl, and once it is complete the inside is pulled through the outside (folded in half) and grafted together.
