PATTERN NOTES
This cowl is worked flat and then seamed. You may optionally prefer to use a provisional cast-on and graft the ends together.
The 10 colours between the 2 sets are labeled as follows:
• Bayport Set: A1 – Peacock,
A2 – Beach House, A3 – Clementine, A4 – Grapefruit, A5 – Drift
• Delano Set: B1 – Wisteria, B2 – Rose Gold, B3 – Apricot, B4 – Bubble Wand, B5 – London Fog

The Little Lift pattern is worked twice. In the first section worked, you’ll use the first colours indicated. In the second section worked, you’ll use the second colours indicated in the parenthesis ( ). For example, on Row 1, you’ll use A1 in Section One and then B1 in Section Two.
The Little Lift pattern is both written (Stitches Used) and charted (p 3) for your preference. A video tutorial for the l3tb stitch is available at: schoolofsweetgeorgia.com/tutorials/
