Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of (our) nature and its (our) beauty.

This is a pattern for a reversible cowl worked in the round and with a folded hem. You may work a closer to the neck or longer cowl. Dots cowl was designed for Elevate Fibers with a portion of every yarn purchase going towards the local National Park!

Stitches are provisionally cast-on and joined to work in the round from the bottom-up. Chart A is worked until suggested or desired length (this will effect yarn amounts used), then a picot folded hem is worked to begin working the inside and Chart B. Once both sections are the same length, a k2togtbl 3-needle bind off is worked to finish the edges.
