Ooh, their breath is warm
And they smell like sleep
And they say they take me home
Like poppies, heavy with seed
They take me deeper and deeper
--And Dream of Sheep by Kate Bush

This is a pattern for a cowl, worked in the round and using the stranded knitting technique. This pattern contains a complex chart with long floats. I have included an explanation of the Ladder-Back/Invisible Jacquard method. But you may tack your floats any way you like.

Stitches are cast on, rib is worked, small chart is worked, main motif chart is worked, the final rib is worked, and then all sts are bound off.
