Saw Mistybliss’ Cotton Seeds cowl & loved it! Here are my mods:

CO 236 st. Then I slipped the last co st to the LH needle and ktog the last co st with the 1st co st to avoid any gaps.
Like Mistybliss, I am using an Aran weight cotton yarn and basic seed stitch pattern. But I chose 100% mercerized pima to add a little shine.
Knit in the round with 32” circulars.
