NOTES

  • The cowl is worked back and forth in rows, beginning with a provisional cast-on, and then the ends are grafted together in garter stitch. You could also use a regular long-tail cast on, bind off, and then sew the ends together. The hat is worked in the round from the bottom up.

  • Do not break yarns at color changes. Carry unused yarn loosely up the side of the cowl or along the inside of the hat.

  • Mark right side of cowl with a removable marker or safety pin.
