Worked sideways from a provisional cast-on and then seamed using Kitchener stitch (with detailed instructions included in the pattern), or the three needle bind-off method, this cowl is quick and interesting to make.
Every effort has been made to ensure that each of the textured bands lies well next to its neighbour and with contextual symmetry.
It can be made in any standard 4 ply weight yarn, and I like to layer two together on really frosty mornings - because it is seamless, you can pop one cowl inside the other with wrong sides facing and then fold it over slightly to form a contrast lining.
