PATTERN NOTES
Cowl is worked in the round, from the bottom up.
Piece is worked straight with a decrease round prior to the ribbing. This taper allows the cowl to sit closely at the top of your neck and drape down
Any time you are changing colors between rounds, be sure to pick the new color up from behind the old color, crossing the two colors over one another to prevent any holes.
