Notes
• Cowl is worked with a corrugated ribbing, but this can be substituted with regular ribbing alternating rows of MC and CC.
• The stranded colourwork used in this cowl is ideal for beginners as it is not necessary to catch floats (there are no sections with more than 5 sts of a colour).
• If you find your corrugated ribbing pulls in (as it does for many people) change to a needle one size larger than the main needle to work your ribbing.
