Construction Notes

This smooshy cowl is knit in the round as a tube and seamed after blocking using mattress stitch. The cowl was designed to showcase the slow color changes in Spincylce yarns and the luxurious fabric that Quince & Co’s Owl base creates! One of the largest benefits of knitting this cowl is that when knitting the colorwork you don’t need to worry about catching long floats! After seaming the floats will not be visible. However, do make sure to spread out the stitches to make loose floats so that the fabric does not pucker.
