Construction Notes

The cowl is knit in a tube and seamed after blocking using mattress stitch. The benefit of knitting the cowl in the round and seaming at the end is that you don’t need to worry about catching long floats. However, make sure to spread out the stitches and make loose floats, so that the fabric does not pucker.
