PATTERN NOTES
This cowl is crocheted in joined, turning rounds. Colors alternate every two rounds, and the floats travel up along the seam. If you do not wish to have floats, you will need to fasten off at each color change and later weave in the ends.

It is recommended that you place a removable stitch marker to denote the first stitch of the round, then move it up each time you begin a new round. This will provide a clear marker when you join each round with a slip stitch.
