This is a pattern for a cowl, worked in the round and using the stranded knitting technique.

Stitches are cast on, rib is worked, chart is worked, the final rib is worked, and then all sts are bound off.

There are 5 animal motifs to choose from: Hare, Fox, Owl, Deer, or Squirrel.

This pattern has sections with long floats, instructions for the Ladder-back/Invisible Jacquard technique, if needed.
