CONSTRUCTION
This colorwork cowl is worked in the round from a chart beginning with a provisional cast on. The live stitches from both ends are then grafted together, resulting in a double-layered fabric. When worn, the graft can be tucked away toward the inside of the cowl. See “Pattern Notes” for how to adjust length and/or width.
