PATTERN NOTES
This circular yoke cowl is knit from the top down, starting with a cast on in a contrasting color.

This pattern uses the stranded method for colorwork. There are several instances in which you must carry one color across long distances. Be sure to catch your floats every 4-5 stitches to prevent puckering in the fabric. Please note that the stranded colorwork motif is charted only. Change colors as indicated on charts.

The cable pattern is both written and charted for your convenience.
