Construction Notes
- The cowl is also completely reversible due to the nature of garter stitch and brioche.
- The cowl is knit flat and seamed together after blocking. The CO edge is knit from the upper corner and knit to the opposite edge pictured in the schematic.
- The pattern is written for fingering weight yarn held double but could easily be substituted for DK held single or any yarn combination that obtains gauge.
